Sensor-Operated Headset Selection for Virginia Class Submarine Consoles (3CI)

Abstract

The current research evaluated various headsets for use on C3I (Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence workstation) consoles installed in Virginia Class submarine. Of particular importance is their intended application in accurately presenting not only communications but also passive acoustic sonar data and other future advanced auditory displays that may use spatial coding. Of these applications accurate representation of broadband sonar data becomes the most challenging immediate task. Headset evaluation of commercial off-the-shelf products confirmed our decision to press for development of high fidelity ANC sensor operator headsets. This study reports evaluation of a prototype ANC high fidelity headset developed to our specification for use in critical listening in a moderately noisy environment.
