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.
Convoy Protection
LRAD’s powerful deterrent tone gets the attention of crowds and then is highly effective in broadcasting warnings and instructions in the host nation language
PSYOP
The U.S. Army PSYOPS switched to LRAD after having extensive issues with their legacy loudspeaker equipment
Ship-to-Ship Communications
The US Navy has used LRADs to communicate to potential threats that pose a risk to military and commercial vessels. Since 2003, LRADs have been used regularly to warn and deter the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ (IRGC) fast attack boats that threaten the shipping lanes.
Military Police
LRAD is unmatched in its ability to communicate to and disperse crowds and preventing MPs from having to use deadly force.
