The U.S. Air Force is conducting market research to identify sources for a small, lightweight, rugged, body-worn communication system to enhance situational awareness during personnel recovery operations. The system must integrate with existing dismounted radios and address current challenges with unreliable, interoperable communication across fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and ground platforms. Ideally, a single headset should fulfill both land and maritime environmental requirements, though separate headsets for each environment will be considered. No budget amount, submission timeline, or performance location is specified in this description. This is a market research notice only, not a solicitation, and the government will not reimburse response costs.
