Our expert team of designers and engineers works closely with end users to create products to meet their mission needs. The Integrated Modular Design and Open Architecture of Ops-Core helmet systems means they can be configured for any mission, delivering maximum flexibility and forward compatibility, and are designed to integrate seamlessly with both Ops-Core and third-party components.
Situational Awareness
Adaptive Mission Platform
Every aspect of the AMP Communication Headset is designed not just for superior situational awareness and hearing protection, but for maximum configurability. It can be worn with a headband or attached directly to helmet systems.
Hearing Enhancement
Ops-Core’s 3D Hear-Through Technology (3DHT) restores and enhances “natural hearing” of outside environments for improved situational awareness.
Scalable Hearing Protection
The AMP Communication Headset user-driven design provides hearing protection up to 34 db NRR (with the addition of Ops-Core NFMI earplugs).
The AMP Communication Headset and optional NFMI earplugs provide advanced, scalable hearing protection and increased situational awareness. The modular design allows easy configuration to meet a wide range of mission needs. Our situational awareness products are proudly assembled in Gentex’s US factories.
Respiratory Protection
99.97% Filtration Efficacy
The Special Operations Tactical Respirator (SOTR) filters out 99.97% of harmful particulates, including lead, dust, asbestos and explosive gunfire residue.
Seamless Compatibility
The SOTR can be worn with or without a helmet and can be easily attached to any FAST helmet system. Front mounted inhalation valves and cartridge ports allow for an enhanced field-of-vision and a quick one-handed filter change.
Mission Ready
The SOTR has a variety of applications, including conducting sensitive site exploration, breaching, vehicle-mounted operations, and live fire ranges and is used by elite ground forces and law enforcement for a variety of missions.
In environments with respiratory hazards like oil, lead, asbestos, or ammo residue, respiratory protection is essential. The unique, streamlined design of the SOTR protects the wearer without interference to mission-critical weapons and equipment.
