Genasys Protect & LRAD
Communications, Deterrence, and Defense During International Conflict
During international conflicts, defense, deterrence, and communications strategies are essential to ensure public safety and uphold human rights. As conflicts increase in complexity, so must the tools used to mitigate risks and respond effectively. Genasys provides the tools to de-escalate tense situations with non-lethal force, communicate and collaborate across organizations, alert the public, and organize large-scale evacuations.
Alert & Evacuate the Public, De-escalate Conflict, Collaborate Across Agencies and Organizations.
LRADs: Born from Tragedy
The devastating bombing of the USS Cole in 2000 led to the development of the Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs), a significant advancement in defense and deterrence technology. LRAD is designed to bridge the communication gap between military forces and potentially hostile individuals or groups.
The use of LRADs enables forces to hail, warn, and determine intent from a safe distance, reducing the likelihood of miscommunication in high-stakes scenarios. This innovation has become a critical tool in international conflicts, offering a means to control situations.
Today, LRADs are deployed globally, not only for defense applications but also for emergency response and public safety in civilian zones affected by conflict.
Nation-Wide Protection
When civilians are at risk, fast and efficient evacuations save lives. Broadcast location-based mass alerts through the Genasys National Emergency Warning System (NEWS). NEWS ensures civilian populations receive evacuation instructions through SMS, email, social media, ACOUSTICS, and more without opt-in requirements.
Genasys CONNECT provides secure, real-time information sharing, enabling decision-makers to assess rapidly evolving situations and respond effectively. CONNECT facilitates unified, strategic collaboration between defense forces, emergency responders, and civilian organizations.
Beyond sending alerts, reduce evacuation times from hours to minutes by streamlining collaboration and facilitating decision-making with Genasys EVAC. Intelligent zoning, map-based situational awareness, and a common operating picture promote unified evacuation operations across collaborating organizations.
Ensure clear and precise communication in conflict zones.
