In military aviation, noise is a common problem and unsafe exposure levels have the potential to affect the performance of pilots.

The hearing protection that is traditionally used does not perform optimally in the low-frequency military aviation noise environment.

Insta ANR system provides up to 30db of low-frequency attenuation. The system has the ability to attenuate frequencies down to 30Hz.

Additionally, the dampening capability can be adjusted based on the situation and personal preferences.

The system will be integrated with the helmet system.

Insta Aviation Products Business head Ille Somppi added: “This is an important agreement for Insta and yet another demonstration of the quality of our aviation products.

“This agreement and our expanding partnership with Saab open up interesting market opportunities, as Insta is now part of Saab’s subcontracting company.”
