Silynx Communications just revealed the first and only combat headset system able to provide GPS and force tracking capabilities to the dismounted soldier. With its built in GPS receiver the C4OPS locates the soldier’s position and helps them navigate to the target via voice prompt indications.

Their website makes you think you’re looking at an accessory for your PS3 or XBOX but in reality Silynx is a government contractor only selling to US government buyers or to US government primes who can provide a US government contract number - which explains why their shopping cart is not quite functional.

C4OPS price tag is not revealed yet but we expect it’ll cost around $1000 to $1500 with the optional GPS add-on. Check out the video:
