A soldier´s senses must be sharp at all times to enable successful operations. Hearing is a critical sensor that provides information when vision is reduced such as darkness and when barriers reduce sightlines.

Noise levels are often so high that they can cause immediate and permanent damage to one´s hearing if proper protection is not worn. He or she must be able to hear incoming radio signals without the risk of revealing the actual location. A snapping twig, footsteps on the other side of a wall or approaching vehicles and aircraft are critical to be heard and located. Communication over the radio must be possible, even in deafening combat situations.

Being able to communicate with your surroundings whilst at the same time being protected from harmful noise levels is a vital necessity in the military, both for exercises and battle situations. Noise levels are often so high that they can cause immediate, permanent damage to your hearing if proper hearing protection is not worn. 3M™ PELTOR™ ComTac™ 1st generation headset was a result of a project to prevent hearing damage and at the same time enhance the efficiency of the soldier’s mission during training as well as combat. The 1st generation 3M™ PELTOR™ ComTac™ headset was introduced 20 years ago and so far over 700,000 headset have been delivered and used in more than 40 countries worldwide.

Now we are very proud to announce that we are ready to introduce the 6th generation ComTac™ VI NIB.
