Challenge: The Fire Fighting Task Force (FFTF) Coordinator realized how valuable this tactical, hands-free headset communication could be for corrections and law enforcement as well as firefighters.

Solution: OLETC invited Sensory Devices to demonstrate its RadioEar headsets at the OLETC Mock Prison Riot™.

Impact: Although FFTF's original mission was to develop technologies for firefighters, it has since developed a formal relationship between OLETC, the Federal Laboratory Consortium and the Center for Technology Commercialization to include the needs of law enforcement and corrections. The OLETC Mock Prison Riot™ was the starting point for OLETC's participation in the commercialization of RadioEar headsets.
