Wayne Brown, director of sales and business development for Savox Communications Inc. of Omaha, Nebraska, shows Senior Chief Craig Grigson, a reservist with the Navy’s Surge Maintenance program, how to use his company’s wired communication device on the bow of the Self Defense Test Ship, Aug. 24. Brown brought his battle damage communications equipment, which uses a headset, a battery-powered box and an up to 1,300-foot cable that can be run almost the entire length of the ship, to the Navy’s Repair Technology Exercise, or REPTX, held at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD). In the event of a loss of communication or power aboard a ship, the operator can use the headset and cable topside to communicate with up to six additional Sailors below. The equipment also has a throat mic adapter that sailors could use if they are wearing a self-contained breathing apparatus should there be poor air quality below decks.
