AMP Headsets for the US ARMY

GENTEX Corporation has been selected to provide its Ops-Core AMP Communication Headset - HERE in our in depth review-in support of the U.S. Army’s Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) prototyping. In addition to the AMP Communication Headset, GENTEX will deliver a comprehensive suite of integrated communications and protection solutions designed to enable seamless interoperability across mission sets, including:

• Push-to-Talk (PTT) and Cabling Solutions: Allows mounted soldiers to connect to a body worn radio and vehicle inter communications system (ICS) simultaneously. The AP-107 3-way PTT is detachable so mounted soldiers can use their combat helmet and rapidly exit and enter the vehicle without having to switch between their Combat Vehicle Crewman (CVC) helmet and Ground Combat Helmet.
• NFMI Earplugs: The Ops-Core Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) Earplugs provide increased noise reduction, while maintaining clear communications and 3D hear-through when used with NFMI enabled Ops-Core headsets. The earplugs do not need batteries, recharging, or any wired connection. When engaged, the NFMI earplug will seamlessly integrate for clear communication. When worn together, the system provides a 34 dB NRR rating.
• IHPS ARC Rail Prototype and AMP Helmet Rail Mount Kits: Featuring a newly developed Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS) helmet rail and rail arm solution, allowing secure and comfortable mounting of the AMP Communication Headset to IHPS and NG-IHPS helmets.

Together, these solutions provide a scalable, integrated system that enhances communication clarity, operational flexibility, comfort, and protection for soldiers operating across diverse mission environments.

The AMP Communication Headset plays a central role in this capability, delivering 3D audio hearing enhancement of up to +12 dB while providing a 22 Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) for comprehensive hearing protection. Dual removable downleads allow mounted Soldiers to simultaneously connect to a vehicle intercommunication system (ICS) and a body-worn radio, enabling seamless transitions between mounted and dismounted operations without changing helmets. This capability significantly improves operational efficiency by eliminating the need to switch between ground combat and Combat Vehicle Crewman (CVC) helmet systems.

As the U.S. Army continues to modernize command and control capabilities, GENTEX remains focused on delivering integrated, mission-ready solutions that connect, protect and enhance the performance of the modern warfighter.
