THE BOSE® TriPort® TACTICAL HEADSET
Military studies show that reducing noise improves
mission effectiveness.
High noise levels in wheeled armored vehicles make
communicating a challenge, potentially affecting situational
awareness. In addition, noise exposure during long-duration
operations can induce fatigue.
Bose introduces the TriPort tactical headset with active
noise reduction.
Building on more than ten years of experience providing
combat vehicle crewman headsets for tank and tracked
vehicle applications, our proven technology is now available
for wheeled armored vehicles.
w TriPort headset acoustic design allows for
a narrow profile earcup with full-spectrum
noise reduction.
w Fits comfortably under a range of combat
helmets.
w Up to 33% lighter than conventional
tactical headsets.
w U.S. Army tests have demonstrated a 21%
increase in voice intelligibility with Bose
active noise reduction headsets.
