We designed the Below H20 with ergonomics in mind to allow for ease of palming or gripping the PTT body in the dark or when hands are numb from extreme exposure
Below H2O Dual Comm Maritime Push-To-Talk
The Below H20 dual comm push-to-talk was designed, developed and is manufactured by Atlantic Signal for maritime applications including law enforcement, military and search and rescue. The Below H20 line of PTTs were designed primarily for our Below H20 and Amphibious Assault headsets. Actuation switches are shrouded to address A/D issues. A blackened steel MOLLE clip is affixed to the backside of the PTT but can be removed and re-oriented on the opposite side of the PTT housing to accommodate both left and right handed trigger pullers. The Below H20 PTT is rated for 2 hours / 20 meters and 10 hours / 10 meters fresh and saltwater exposure.
Switches are shrouded to avoid A/D issues. The rear mounted MOLLE clip can be unscrewed from the Below H20 housing backside and mounted to the front to provide left handed shooters inboard switch positioning
A traditional radio interface for the Below H20 would be the 10 pin connector for the THALES PRC148R radio. Atlantic Signal wires and over-molds each 10 pin connector and can build your choice of cable lengths
Once of our newer designs is the over-mold for the Harris PRC163 dual net radio. The 19 pin connector provides connections for both the wide and narrow bands of the 163. Pictured is our custom over-molded 19 pin Nemesis connector with EUD port for data connection
notes from the field
Keeping your team safe
Nearing the end of our current exercise, some testing I did with your comms suite included Close Quarters, tactics style comm/usage, talking to aircraft and doing full mission profiles for Direct Action and Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) operations. It honestly works out very well and the benefits are there for the platoon. I tested it in both the headband configuration and the arc-rail adapter configuration and the option to go back to either one is awesome, as our platoon standard operating procedures allow us to wear high-cut helmets. I could also tell a difference in quality on ambient sound and the boom microphone. (referring to the Atlantic Signal exclusive COMTAC V headset with Warrior PTT and custom cables).
