Protect Canadian Ears

INVISIO has been awarded by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) for tactical hearing protection and communication equipment. The agreement covers Racal Acoustics-branded RA5100 tactical headsets, RA71 control units, associated cables, spare parts, and sustainment services. The agreement has an initial term of two years, with an option to extend for an additional three years, and has a potential value of up to SEK 450 million. Order volumes are not guaranteed, and orders will be placed through call-offs during the agreement period.

The agreement was won through INVISIO’s Canadian partner Simex Defence, a specialist supplier of tactical communications and soldier systems to the CAF. It covers the entire CAF, including the Canadian Army, the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Royal Canadian Navy, and the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command.

The systems provide active noise reduction, hearing protection, and natural situational awareness – enabling effective communication in mounted and dismounted operations. Interoperability across existing and future radio fleets, simplified configuration management and software-defined architecture ensure a proven capability that can evolve with future mission requirements.
