Defense

Today’s military forces are required to support the full spectrum of missions from combat and counterinsurgency to disaster response and humanitarian assistance. Regardless of the assigned mission, clear communication and scalable escalation of force (EOF) are critical to success.

LRAD innovated acoustic hailing devices (AHDs) in response to the deadly October 2000 attack on the USS Cole. While equipped with an arsenal of lethal force, the sailors on the U.S. destroyer had no way to determine the intent of the suicide mission bent on destroying it until it was too late.

Protecting Militaries Across The World

Convoy Protection

LRAD’s alert tone commands attention to the audible warnings and instructions broadcast in any host nation language.

PSYOPS

Simulate munitions, battle, and other sounds for training and field PSYOPS operations. The U.S. Army PSYOPS switched to LRAD after having extensive issues with their legacy loudspeaker equipment.

Military Police

Safeguard checkpoints and perimeters, communicate to and disperse large crowds, alleviate or scale EOF to avoid lethal confrontations.

Ship-to-Ship Communications

Determine the intent of vessels not responding to radio calls, conduct vessel boardings and interdictions at sea, enlarge vessel standoff zones for ships underway, pier side or at anchor.

LRAD systems are in service in more than 100 countries worldwide

LRAD Defense Products

LRAD systems deliver live or recorded voice messages with exceptional clarity for any operational scenario.
