NATO Supply Class 5965 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 5965 focuses on Headsets, Handsets, Microphones, and Speakers. These are essential components used in various communication systems and equipment.

Headsets are audio devices worn on the head that include headphones and a microphone, allowing the user to listen and speak simultaneously. Handsets are similar to headsets but are typically handheld devices that include a speaker and a microphone for communication purposes.

Microphones are transducers that convert sound waves into electrical signals, allowing for the capture and transmission of audio. They are commonly used in telecommunication systems, recording devices, and public address systems.

Speakers, on the other hand, are devices that convert electrical signals into sound waves, allowing for the reproduction of audio. They are used in a wide range of applications, including telecommunication systems, audio playback devices, and public address systems.

In summary, NATO Supply Class 5965 encompasses the various components necessary for communication systems, including headsets, handsets, microphones, and speakers. These components play a crucial role in enabling effective communication in military and civilian applications.
