The Ops-Core® Special Operations Tactical Respirator (SOTR) & Voice Projection Unit (VPU) Communication Bundle delivers a critical operational advantage; proven respiratory protection without sacrificing communication. Designed for tactical operators working in high-risk environments, the bundle combines 99.97% particulate filtration efficiency with amplified voice projection, ensuring you're protected and clearly understood when it matters most.
From gunshot residue blowback and flashbang-generated debris to airborne particulate hazards encountered during dynamic operations, SOTR provides high-efficiency filtration in a lightweight, low-profile respirator engineered around mission performance. Its central-mounted filter preserves ambidextrous weapon sighting, while dual exhalation valves reduce breathing resistance during movement. The integrated microphone maintains secure radio communications through standard headset/PTT cabling.
To extend communication beyond radio, the Ops-Core Voice Projection Unit (VPU) amplifies speech for clear local communication with teammates, bystanders and personnel off comms. With three selectable output levels and tested speech intelligibility, the VPU acts as a force multiplier for command presence and coordination during critical moments. Mounted on mask, the system seamlessly passes through wired radio communication, allowing operators to transition naturally between projected speech and headset communications without compromising protection or mobility.
For readiness out of the box, we've included an extra replacement filter giving you three in total. Filter changes are fast and simple; keep one on the mask and a spare ready to go so you can maintain protection with minimal downtime.
Bundle includes:
Ops-Core SOTR (Mic Version): microphone-equipped respirator for radio integration and clear, secure comms.
Ops-Core Voice Projection Unit (VPU): on-mask, selectable-volume speech projection for local communication
3 Replacement filters: high-efficiency particulate filtration, easy to change.
