TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS AND PROTECTIVE SYSTEM
Abstract
The Tactical Communications and Protective System (TCAPS) provides Soldiers with advanced, active hearing protection that simultaneously protects Soldiers' hearing while enabling situational awareness and mission command. TCAPS protects Soldiers against harmful impulse and steady-state noises characteristic of combat environments while also enabling Soldiers to communicate with each other using voice communications over a tactical radio. TCAPS enhances survivability and situational awareness by allowing Soldiers to selectively amplify faint sounds that would not be otherwise audible or intelligible. TCAPS reduces Soldiers’ noise induced hearing damage. Includes integration and interface of products on Soldiers. TCAPS contributes to the reduction of post-service disability compensation and limits lost in-service time related to hearing injuries. TCAPS will continue to employ commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions that are evaluated periodically. The commercial solutions that meet the technical requirements and are rated the best by the Soldiers will transition to production and fielding.
