Think about how much stuff you've got connected to you on an operation. Radio, EUD, headset, cables, USB hub, peripheral power source, and everything else you're trying to manage.
The Dual PTT does more than just key your radio.
It's powered directly by the MPU5, it's also your USB hub, passing power and data through to your EUD while simultaneously providing power to compatible headsets.
Think about what that means for battery management. Your EUD is being charged while you're using it, and if the AAAs or AAs in your compatible headset die, you're not suddenly without comms. The MPU5 can continue powering the headset through the Dual PTT and its downlead.
That's fewer batteries to carry, fewer things to monitor, and less equipment to worry about when you're already managing everything else.
But here's another capability that gets overlooked.
Any audio from your EUD can be heard directly in your headset.
TAK alerts, Signal calls, notifications, or whatever application you're running.
Say you're sitting in a hide site, monitoring TAK, maybe listening to something on your EUD while waiting for something to develop.
Someone on your team keys up. Your app audio automatically drops, their transmission takes priority, and when they're done, your audio returns to its original volume.
No reaching for your phone, adjusting volumes, or switching audio sources.
Whether you're moving to an objective, riding in a vehicle, or sitting in an OP for hours, you're keeping your devices powered, your communications accessible, and your attention where it needs to be.
So go ahead and jam out to Spotify during infil.

"In the summer of 2025, we stood in a field in North Dakota demonstrating a counter drone system for the Department of Homeland Security. We were the youngest team there by decades, and we were also the cheapest solution in the field. That was not a coincidence. It was proof of the principle that defines everything we do: the threat is cheap, so the answer has to be cheaper."
Askari's team based in Atlanta, GA has been developing counter unmanned aerial systems (CUAS) / interceptor to defeat Group 1 & 2 drones.
