Still, what happens if one of these headsets
is captured?
Then the enemy knows where the whole unit
is in great detail. Even if the rest of the unit disengages
the captured headset as soon as they find out, even a
brief glimpse will tell the enemy where the whole unit
is located.

Absolutely not to mention soldiers that
desert, or just plain go over to the other side.
Chances are that this equipment will find a
'better' application in law enforcement.
In addition, such equipment will just have to
be made just that more complicated by virtue of what it
entails: every unit will have to be assigned a daily code
that corresponds to the likes of IFF (Identification - Friend
or Foe), so that if one of those units <is> captured, it will
be of time limited use.
Very possibly, this equipment will be used for
those special missions (SAS, SEALS, SF, etc.) where you will
want to know all those things that such equipment will
provide. But in the big war scenario, it would add so much
noise to the already noisy radio environment as to make it
a liability.

I don't think radio noise would be a problem, even when
I was in the Signals we had that problem licked, with the
advances in technology, burst transmission and so on I
can't see how it would be a problem.
