Noise is a huge concern in the Army. It is so loud in some areas, depending on the aircraft, where just a few seconds of unprotected exposure to its noise can cause severe hearing loss.

An effective solution that allows a user to speak and be heard despite all the engine and combat noise and hear clearly without risk of hearing loss is extremely valuable in this environment. The Bone Conduction Boom provides exactly such a capability. The benefits of safety, productivity and general clarity of communications in a combat and training environment are unique to this product.

theBoom Bone Conduction headset offers a revolutionary approach for clear communication in such extreme noise. theCobra Microphone has been proven to cancel noise above 100 dB+ and is used independently in many applications. The bone conduction boom combines the UmeCobra microphone with the temple transducer technology for hearing. The temple transducer allows the user to keep his or her ears plugged using double hearing protection and listen through the vibrations of the temple.

Many troop deployments revolve around large machinery and aircraft, and in doing so, the noise outside can be deafening, due to either engines or being deployed in a ‘hot’ combat zone. It is during these deployments that instruction and confirmations can be most relevant and critical.

For example, SpecOps troops based in Fort Campbell have been using theCobra and the Bone Conduction headsets for accurate and critical troop deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq for many years. In such extreme environments, giving orders or situation reports while maintaining an aspect of stealth is vital.

theCobra and the Bone conduction headset allow troops and crew to speak to their controllers and report on situations in almost a whisper, even while engine noise, gunfire or other high-noise encounters occur around them. With Bone Conduction, the user can still hear orders or situation reports even over gunfire and explosives, leading to heightened safety and understanding to the squad.

UmeVoice believes that providing the most accurate, clear and efficient manner of communication to our troops in the field is our way of supporting the men and women fighting in foreign nations. It is with this ethos in mind that we put our award-winning technology into this product and are always looking for ways to improve it, furthering the safety and efficiency of those troops.

Armored Vehicle Divisions

The Bone Conduction headset and theCobra is not just for ground-based infantry however, and has many applications for the Armed Forces. The M1A1-Abrams Tank is the most commonly used armored vehicle in the US Armed forces, and as many people can imagine, the noise inside a mobile, armed fortress can be loud as best and deafening at other times.

Crews inside the tank can use the ear protection they need, even while the main cannon is firing and still be able to hear the tank commanders orders, or reports from the other crew. Bone Conduction uses the temple-mounted speakers so that the user can hear everything in crystal clarity and when used with theCobra microphone, every word comes through clearly.

Other Military Arms

It is not only the Army who have benefitted from the noise-reduction technology created by UmeVoice, but also the Airforce, Navy and Coastguard.

Here is a testimonial of once such division.



Some of the divisions that use the UmeVoice solution

Among some of the many Airforce bases that use theCobra and the Bone Conduction Headset, there are other divisions that have found that the combination of products has been invaluable to them. Some of these divisions include the Search and Rescue Air Corp based in Patrick Airforce base as well as the National Guard in Yosemite.

In many cases, these specialists require direct, clear and above all reliable communications for their jobs as they save hundreds of lives and protect their homes. It is this task set to them that UmeVoice supports with its award-winning technology.
