Maritime Security & Anti-Piracy Product: LRAD Long Range Acoustic Device
LRAD 1000Xi
The LRAD 1000Xi provides long distance hailing and warning and highly intelligible voice communication.
The superior voice intelligibility and clarity of LRAD 1000Xi provides a directional audio broadcast that can safely communicate with high intelligibility far beyond stand off distances. LRAD-X operators have the ability to issue clear, authoritative verbal commands, followed with powerful deterrent tones to enhance response capabilities. The extended frequency range of the LRAD-X ensures voice commands will be clearly understood at distances up to 3,000 meters.
The self-contained LRAD 1000Xi systems feature rugged carbon fiber emitter heads with integrated electronics and amplification. These new systems include easily adaptable control interfaces enabling personnel to install and cable Xi control panels to nearby and remote command/control centers.
What is LRAD?
LRAD is the world standard for acoustic hailing devices. No other can match LRAD's demonstrated experience, performance, or reliability with thousands of LRAD units operating in challenging environments worldwide.
LRAD allows you to determine intent at a safe range and have time to react. It is a Critical Part of a Layered Defense that Fulfills the Fundamental Requirement to Hail, Notify & Warn and Provides Deterrence.
It gives Long Range Clear Communication over significant background noise to alert and warn intruders. There are Unmistakable warning tone and messages in multiple languages to ensure your message is received. This enables you to give crystal clear communication at long range with a high intensity and directional sound. Enabling you to:
- Establish intent
- Isolate threats from inadvertent intrusions
- Hail, notify and warn an intruder
- Justifies escalation of force
- Change behaviour
- High intensity tone deters intruder actions
Pirates begin an attack at 500 - 1000 meters away. LRAD Communicates a Warning Tone (Alert) and a Plain Voice message (Multi-Language). This then mean that Pirates:
- Know they have lost the element of surprise
- Know the vessel is prepared
- Know an investment has been made in security
- Believe coalition forces have likely been notified
If a Security Team are present onboard then it enables them to:
- Use deterrent tone (153dB @ 1 Meter)
- Justified in firing warning shots
- Justified in shoot to kill
