US Air Force Guardian Angels is the new customer within US Department of Defense who in December 2019 selected INVISIO
As earlier communicated on December 10, 2019, INVISIO has received another new customer within the U.S. Department of Defense.
The prestigious United States Air Force’s elite unit, the Guardian Angels, has selected INVISIO to provide a suite of hearing enhancement devices that will enable airmen to communicate in critical situations while at the same time protecting their hearing. The initial order, placed in December 2019, had a value of approximately SEK 28 million, and deliveries will take place in the first half of 2020.
The United States Air Force Guardian Angels have selected INVISIO Communications to provide a suite of hearing enhancement devices that will protect the hearing of airmen and increase their situational awareness, as well enabling communication in extremely noisy environments.
“We are very proud to be selected by the Guardian Angels. It is an important win for us, as the rest of the world studies closely the solutions the US elite forces use,” says Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO of INVISIO.
The Guardian Angels decided on INVISIO based on the interoperability with aerial and ground situations. The chosen system is mission specific and tailored to their personnel recovery requirements. The solution will allow Combat Rescue Officers, Pararescue men, and Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape Specialists to wear hearing protection, yet still provide the opportunity to communicate and understand what is going on around them.
”Guardian Angels have unique recovery and support missions utilizing various helicopters and aircraft. We look forward to providing them with an integrated suite of specialized and tailored tactical communications systems combining both protection and efficiency,” says Ray Clarke, Head of INVISIO Inc.
The Guardian Angels have conducted over 12,000 lifesaving, combat rescue missions since 2001. Additionally, because of their unique capabilities, they have been called upon to lead the rescue of over 5,000 civilians worldwide from serious natural disasters.
