LRAD to supply 500X systems to undisclosed Middle East customer

LRAD has been awarded a follow-on order by an undisclosed customer in the Middle East for the delivery of LRAD 500X systems and accessories.

Under the contract, LRAD will supply LRAD 500X systems for the Middle East customer for installation on vehicles used for military and police applications.

LRAD president and CEO Tom Brown said that military and police organisations are using long range acoustic devices to provide a layered defence strategy for land forces while bridging the capability gap between initial engagement and employing lethal force.

"The extended frequency range of the LRAD 500X ensures voice commands in any language are clearly heard and understood over distances up to 2 kilometers, even inside targeted vehicles with engines running," Brown added.

"It provides vehicles and convoys with the ability to create large safety zones, determine intent and peacefully resolve conflicts."
The lightweight LRAD 500X system provides hailing and warning capability for security personnel and has also been selected as acoustic hailing device (AHD) by the US Navy and US Army for small vessels and vehicles.

The potable LRAD 500X allows users to issue clear, authoritative verbal commands, followed with powerful deterrent tones to enhance response capabilities.
