Next‑Gen Helmet Radio
A prototype effort focused on clear voice, low latency, and a robust audio chain for real‑world noise. We’re evaluating components and tooling, iterating through measurement, and refining the architecture as we learn.
Prototype stage — this site describes our current direction and will evolve as evaluation progresses.
What we’re building
The goal is a helmet-ready communication platform where the audio path stays intelligible in noise, feels natural to talk through, and behaves predictably under real constraints (power, size, thermals, and ruggedization).
- Clarity in noise via signal conditioning, filtering, and controlled dynamics.
- Low, consistent latency across capture → processing → output.
- Robust hardware with repeatable configuration and testability.
Defining constraints (latency budget, interfaces, power) and mapping them to a practical signal path.
Comparing classes of parts (audio converters, DSP-capable amps, MCUs, radios) and the tooling required to configure/tune them.
Building a repeatable setup to iterate: configuration, measurement, tuning, and regression checks.
Roadmap (planned)
A realistic sequence for moving from evaluation to a first working prototype, then iterating based on measurement and usability feedback.
- 01Define constraintsLatency, interfaces, power, mechanics.
- 02Evaluate componentsConverters, DSP path, and control tooling.
- 03Prototype bring‑upRepeatable configuration + measurement loop.
- 04Iterate & validateTune, test, document, and refine.
