THERMAL SIGHTS/VIEWERS

Atlantic Signal was approached in 2012 by a U.S. Military Stryker Brigade and asked to consider developing a comms kit that allowed the operator to utilize a body worn push to talk assembly and headset both in and out of the vehicle. Furthermore, the comms system had to allow for accessibility to the vehicle's ICS system - providing hot mic capabilities. Incorporating one of three versions of COMTAC III ACH headset (over the head, behind the head and rail mounted), Atlantic Signal developed a small push to talk system featuring dual comm capabilities with two radios as well as an ICS interface. Radio comms are maintained on one radio while ICS communications are monitored via the second radio connector with ICS adapter cable. The operator is able transition from a mounted vehicle operation to a dismounted ground operation without having to change out a vehicle comms set-up to a ground operations comms set up - greatly reducing time, increasing convenience and lowering overall cost.

The world's original 20 meter submersible bone conduction tactical headset. The MH180V-AA amphibious assault headset is Atlantic Signal's most popular model. It features no speaker hardware in, on or over the ear(s); rather, radio comms are received thru the temporal bones of the face - leaving both ears unobstructed providing critical situational and directional awareness. The headset's design provides the operator the ability to add some form of in the ear hearing pro if desired. The MH180V-AA features a vertical stainless steel headframe and adjustable front / back head strap. The push-to-talk housing is ergonomically designed to allow for ease of location by feel rather than sight.

The GLADIATOR 'V' and 'H' models are a hybrid of MH180 horizontal and vertical framed headsets. The integration of U.S. Military approved 4th generation Combat Arms Earplugs allows the operator to engage and disengage hearing pro at will, while having no impact whatsoever on his/her ability to RX and TX. This provides the operator situational and directional awareness in open mode yet protects against dangerous peak noise levels with a filter element that reacts instantaneously to harmful environmental sounds providing increased protection. When properly worn, the earplugs provide up to 23 NRR. The GLADIATOR headset allows the operator to receive radio communications through his/her facial bones, leaving both ears free to maintain 360 degrees of situational and directional awareness. Custom cable lengths are available along with nearly 20 push-to-talk assemblies, remote switches, remote volume controls and other options to choose from - allowing the individual operator, team, squad, brigade, battalion or regiment to customize their comms system.

Atlantic Signal's TM-ICS was developed at the request of a U.S. Army Special Operations MSG in charge of CDD Medical Products who requested a communications device for two Medics or Docs to communicate with each other while in aircraft, ground vehicles and for the relay/exchange of crucial information between helicopter and medical personnel on the ground at Combat Hospitals. The TM-ICS is comprised of a 3.5' x 2' x 3/4' housing weighing less than 8.5 oz and contains circuitry and 2 AA Alkaline batteries coupled with two, heavy duty, cables terminated with NATO wired, 4 conductor, female jacks. The entire package described above fits conveniently into a custom MOLLE holder. The TM-ICS allows the wearer of the system to plug in a Peltor headset or flight helmet, with internal comms set-up, into the TM-ICS while providing the longer extension cable included with the system to a fellow operator to plug into via his Peltor or flight helmet. When both are connected to the TM-ICS, there is an open, duplex line of communication, no push-to-talk mechanism is required - providing both parties hands-free communications. The TM-ICS housing also features a user-controllable, detent-style, volume control - allowing the operators to adjust receive volume depending upon the level of noise in the ambient environment. The TM-ICS also features a 'low battery' warning tone when battery life reaches 20% and below. Additional extension cables can also be custom built for the TM-ICS.

The BW (Body Worn) Portable 4 and 6 man intercoms are a hybrid of our TM-ICS (Tactical Medic Intercom System). The hybrid's development started based on an inquiry from a medic overseas who assisted inside a Blackhawk with a complete surgical suite team. They required a high noise communication solution among a group as large as six professionals engaged in assisting with a casualty. Ultimately the 6 man version went into full production, along with a set of optional coiled cable extensions, which allow the professionals to connect their Peltors to the system from various positions and sides of the casualty. These intercoms also maintain comms between the group in duplex mode - meaning no need to depress a PTT button to talk. The intercom systems run off two AA Alkaline batteries and operates over 30 + hours without needing to change the batteries. The system includes a battery warning beep (in the headset during use) when battery life reaches 20% or less.

Atlantic Signal has developed two different EOD COMMS Solutions - one for the MED ENG 8 suit and one for the MED ENG 9. The first option includes a rectangular box with a centered, shrouded PTT switch mounted on the top - designed to mount to the Velcro patch on the right sleeve of a suit via a Velcro mating base. A cable, with connector, was designed to wind up the sleeve to the suit's wiring harness receptacle. When mounted properly, the two connectors interlock, preventing them from pulling apart during use. A waterproof, noise canceling boom mic connects to the 2. 5mm jack assembly inside the helmet, while the microphone element on the opposite end mounts to the inside front of the helmet.

A second option was developed to quickly disconnect the PTT portion of the EOD COMMS system and use it as the PTT for tactical assault vests. The MED ENG 8 solution is the same as the MED ENG 9 solution described above, except there is no boom microphone included. Instead, it has an internal microphone built into the helmet. Neither system is intended for use in close proximity of a suspected explosive.

Atlantic Signal's ruggedized MH180 Tactical Bone Conduction Headsets allow an operator to hear through their facial bones rather than their ears - keeping both ears free to hear danger in their ambient environment. The MH180 model is available with a vertical (MH180V) or a horizontal (MH180H) stainless steel frame. Both models feature a waterproof, noise canceling microphone mounted on an articulated boom arm and are IP67 rated for dirt, dust and water ingress. The design of the MH180V allows an operator to position the boom microphone on the left or right side of the face providing ample room for a secure cheek weld with a long gun, while the MH180H model can be ordered with the microphone manufactured and installed on the right or left side.

Atlantic Signal's AVON Protection System Comms Cable Kit was developed for law enforcement and military clients who utilize both Atlantic Signal and Peltor brand headsets. Several attributes differentiate Atlantic Signal's Comms Cable Kit from others on the market, including the robust design, epoxy sealed circuitry housing and over molded Nexus 4 conductor plug; however, the most distinguishing characteristic lies in the manner in which the circuitry was designed for the kit. When a headset is attached to the kit - along with the headset's PTT assembly - the Comms Cable Kit automatically disables the headset's microphone, only utilizing the internal microphone of the mask when the PTT button is depressed to transmit. This feature prevents noise in the operator's ambient environment from being transmitted through his headset's boom microphone each time they transmit. This unique feature allows an operator to speak clearly and concisely with no competing noise to overcome. The Comms Cable Kit can be used with AVON Protection System's FM53, M50 and C50 masks with or without AVON's outer voice projection unit.

The VIPER II Push-to-Talk was developed by Atlantic Signal at the request of several clients looking for a push-to-talk that had the capabilities to run twin dual band radios, cross-band between radios and utilize CHAT Programs among many other requirements. The clients wanted a simple, easy to use solution out of the box with plug and play cables for various radios, ICS platforms and smartphones. Of equal importance, the clients wanted the capability to program the PTT to perform other functions. The VIPER II fulfills all these requirements and more.
