Military Aviation Headset - Noise Reducing Headphones - Ground Handling

Ground Handling

In times of conflict the military machine depends as much on ground crews as it does pilots and the management of air traffic. Turning around landed aircraft quickly and getting them back into the air as soon as possible is a vital part of mission success.

The noise of jet engines, coupled with the urgency of the situation, means that commands and information need to be communicated clearly and effectively. Racal provides headsets that can make this possible in a package that is rugged, reliable, comfortable and resistant to contaminants found in this type of environment.

RA6000 Talon PTT System
