Technomad Military PA System Helps New Civil Affairs Brigade
Unit Inject Realism Into Training Exercises
 BOSTON, October 5th, 2009 - Technomad LLC, a leader in
high-powered weatherproof PA systems and communications
equipment for military, security and other government
applications, announces that the US Army 361st Civil Affairs
Brigade in Germany is using a Technomad Military PA System and
SuperConductor mp3 military player/recorder for military
training and simulation.
The 361st Civil Affairs Brigade is a new Civil Affairs unit
within the US Army Reserve Command, established to
diplomatically work with local populations in foreign
environments. The unit's Annual Training Exercise emphasizes
this diplomatic effort, training soldiers to fight for battle
as well as to talk, negotiate, persuade and assist the local
populace. The goal of the Civil Affairs Unit mission is to
"Win The Hearts and Minds" of locals through civil military
operations.
The Technomad Military PA system, featuring two weatherproof
loudspeakers, an amplifier and mixer among other components,
plays an instrumental role in the exercise, partially acting
as a force multiplier during convoy lane training to simulate
explosions. The system was also used at a simulated displaced
personnel camp, projecting crowd noises, music and other
sounds to enhance the training environment and create a
foreign environment for soldiers. Audio files were programmed
in the SuperConductor ahead of the exercise for easy recall
via a front panel knob and push button.
"Adding realism to every bit of training is paramount for
soldiers to understand how to react in foreign environments
once deployed," said CPT Ryan Bromenschenkel of the US Army
361st Civil Affairs Brigade. "When the day comes to perform at
your given task, you can perform with ease knowing that you
have been there before through extensive training. The
Technomad Military PA System helps us achieve this realism by
providing a portable system with outstanding audio clarity. We
were able to mentally prepare soldiers by playing foreign
sounds, music and language whether inside the personnel camp
or a half a mile away in the forest."
Bromenschenkel noted that the amplified sounds projected from
the Technomad system were able to cut through the heavy dense
forest and the sounds of nearby loggers. He added that the
entire system can be set up in five minutes or less with ease,
which was pertinent with only 12 personnel on site to set up
for the entire exercise.
Technomad Turnkey Military PA Systems offer a unique
combination of power, compact size, weatherproof construction
and clear speech and music reproduction, providing far
superior intelligibility than traditional ‘horn' speaker
systems that suffer from inherent distortion and narrow audio
bandwidth. The complete systems include Technomad weatherproof
loudspeakers with gasketed lids for extra protection, a
pre-wired amplifier, a six-channel mixer, source equipment, a
dynamic microphone cables, connectors, and a shockmount
equipment rack.
Options include the SuperConductor, a 1RU system that allows
for manual and scheduled playback of audio files from a front
panel position and without the need for a computer or web
browser; and the ability to record field audio and immediately
schedule the files for playback from its internal sound
library. Scheduling can be as straightforward or complex as
desired; sounds can be programmed to play hourly, daily,
weekly or annually, also making the unit ideal as a message
repeater in both critical and non-critical situations.
