Genasys Protect & LRAD to Combat Terrorism
Unpredictable terrorist attacks and threats demand immediate and effective responses. Genasys Protect accelerates decision-making, collaboration, and public outreach to swiftly move people out of harm’s way and enable responders to mitigate damage and threats efficiently.
Facilitate rapid, collaborative decision-making with a map-based common operating picture visualizing threatened areas and responder deployment. Use real-time secure chat for seamless communication. Flexible zones let responders quickly target specific areas and notify the public. Multiple channels, including SMS, Genasys ACOUSTICS, and IPAWS, ensure life-saving instructions reach everyone. In post-crisis scenarios, Genasys aids swift responses to terrorist attacks, providing real-time updates and targeted alerts to manage the aftermath and keep communities informed.
Genasys Inc. developed LRADs in response to the tragic attack on the USS Cole in 2000, where the inability to communicate with an approaching boat led to a deadly terrorist incident. This tragic event underscored the need for long-range communication systems to establish threat intent and ensure clear communication with targets not responding to radio calls. Consequently, Genasys Inc. pioneered the LRAD as an effective solution for addressing terrorism threats, providing clear alerts, warnings, and commands over long distances.
Since then, agencies have used LRADs to combat terrorist threats, active shooters, barricaded subjects, and more.
Use Genasys to keep the public informed and response teams coordinated.

Improved Decision-Making
Enhance and accelerate decision-making and operational flow with real-time, map-based situational awareness that’s shared with leadership from all collaborating agencies through a common operating picture.
“It was very good to have the preplanning and pre-scripting ready to plug and play as an option. Also, being able to visualize the zones, impacted areas, evacuation details – it was easy for us to identify locations and push that into to our dispatch center, as well as social media and the public.”
