Tech team-up deal ups the bar on smart hearing protection for mission teams on the ground

The goal in practice is to provide equipment that will allow teams on the ground to clearly pick up important sounds such as instructions from colleagues or warning signals, whilst also protecting them from potentially damaging noise from machinery and other sound.
