3.1.7The PTT switch shall feature silent tactile feedback when depressed and released (see glossary).
3.1.8The headset PTT shall have over molded cable connectors to prevent water intrusion.
3.1.9The system shall provide a speech transmission index (STI) of 0.5 in all environments.
3.2The system shall provide a STI of 0.6 in ambient noise environment onboard up to 103 dBA.
3.2.1The system shall limit the sound exposure to the crew from a radio or internal communications to a maximum of 85 dBA.
3.2.2The headsets shall provide hearing protection with a Noise Reduction Rate (NRR) of 20 dBA or better.
3.2.3The system shall have a talk-through mode to allow a crewmember to hear all outside noises.
3.2.4The system must not suffer a loss of any functionality or reduction in STI due to interference from other headsets.
3.2.5The headset ear cups must be able to attach to a steel vertical frame to be worn without a helmet.
3.2.6The headset must be able to physically convert from a vertical frame to arc rail mounted configuration.
Subfactor 2: Interoperability Requirements
3.2.7The headset shall be able to interface with the PRC-117, PRC-150, and PRC-152A radios.
3.2.8The headset shall be able to interface with the Harris RF-7800I, GENTEX LVIS digital, and the Ultra-Graytronics GAS6297 intercom systems.
3.3Headsets shall be useable in each craft to allow seamless transition between surface marine and airborne platforms.
3.3.1The system shall include a crewmember PTT unit that connects to the headset worn by the crewman as well as the 6-Pin connection of the PRC-152A and the 13-Pin connection of the Harris RF-7800I boat crew communication system.
3.3.2The system shall include a crewmember PTT unit that connects to the headset worn by the crewman as well as the 6-Pin connection of the PRC-152A and the 6-Pin connection of the GENTEX LVIS digital boat crew communication system.
3.3.3The system shall include a crewmember PTT unit that connects to the headset worn by the crewman as well as the 6-Pin connection of the PRC-152A and the AP-107BRS connection of the Ultra-Graytronics boat crew communication system.
3.4The system shall not have any electromagnetic disturbances that interrupt, obstruct, or otherwise degrade or limit the effective performance of the electronics/electrical equipment. (IAW COMDTINST 2450.1)
3.4.1The headset shall not inhibit wearer from accessing features and functions of the boat crew communications system.
3.4.1.1The intercom system shall be able to be listened to by any connected user wearing a headset.
3.4.1.2The headset shall be able to disconnect from an intercom system and still operate while plugged into a handheld PRC-152A tactical radio in order to allow movement from the boat.
3.4.1.3Headsets shall be compatible with the following waveforms when used with the PRC-152A:

3.4.1.4The Push To Talk (PTT) shall be configurable to offer the following functions:
Single PTT: single PRC-152A (Operator)
Single PTT MK4: LVIS (boat crew)
Double Comm PTT: single radio/ICS (Boat/Aviation)
Triple Comm PTT: dual radio/ICS (Boat/Aviation)
3.4.1.5The headset shall be compatible with the following connections:

MK4 OTH ICS cable _ Double/triple Comm PTT (Boarding team)
3.4.1.6When operating with a single PRC-152A, the audio shall be through both ear cups for stereo sound.
3.4.2When operating with the intercom system (ICS), ICS audio shall be in both ear cups.
Subfactor 3: Suitability Requirements
