Overview
The RA315 is integrating communication headset and helmet. It is suitable for Combat Vehicle Crew applications.
Key Features
- High noise attenuation circa 35 dB with ANR
- Talk-Through
- Choice of soft liner and ballistic shell
- New, improved earcushions
- Retrofitable digital ANR
Benefits
The RA315 may be configured for all the popular intercom systems that support ANR, which leads to improved speech intelligibility and hearing protection for crew, a given in high noise vehicles.
A choice of soft liners offer excellent bump protection and ventilation, and depending on choice of liner, the headset may be configured with or without a neckband spring, which ensures an optimum fit and maximum comfort.
The liner supports a choice of removeable outer ballistic shell that can be removed and stowed when the vehicle is closed down and may be bump only or ‘ballistic’ with a choice of size, color and rating (400-650, V50 rating).
Appropriate EMC shielding measures ensure protection to radiated field strengths up to 50V/m; important for crew in a head-out situation, close to radio antennae.
Applications
The RA315 may be used in Main Battle Tanks, AFV’s and other tracked, high noise vehicles. It is also suitable (without ANR) for ground crew requiring head protection.
Ordering Information
The RA315 is a flexible three part system comprising the headset (based on the RA180 Crewgard), and a choice of both soft liner and outer shell. Most configurations offer ANR and talk through as standard and will support a variety of intercoms from the leading suppliers.
In some existing configurations the outer shell is an optional item and depending upon the soft liner specified, there may/may not be a neckband spring fitted as standard.
The following are some of the most popular ready-configured variants:-
- RA315/XXXX
- RA315/YYYY
