Description

Communication and hearing are critical to the warfighter: threats must be heard, identified, and localized; a squad leader’s commands must be heard and interpreted. Hearing and communication are challenged by battlefield noise, whether by continuous noise from one’s vehicle or by impulsive noise from incoming or outgoing fire. The Army seeks new advances in battlefield tactical communications technology. Creare proposes to adapt its U-Comm technology to meet the needs of mounted and dismounted soldiers. In Phase I, we demonstrated the feasibility of our approach to enhance a warfighter’s lethality and survivability. In Phase II, we will ruggedize the system and quantitatively evaluate its effectiveness through laboratory testing and field demonstrations.
