Protecting high-value assets against piracy threats requires a military-tested shipboard protection device. The Long Range Acoustic Device® (LRAD®) has been successfully used against piracy threats since the Seabourn Spirit incident off the coast of Somalia in November 2005.
LRAD is an easily transportable communication tool that overcomes background noise to clearly transmit critical information, instructions and warnings up to 3000 meters away. Optimized driver and wave-guide design ensures clear, loud voice communication so every syllable is understood. Through the use of voice commands and powerful deterrent tones, LRAD can clearly communicate over long distances, create large safety zones and potentially resolve uncertain situations.
LRAD’s unmatched acoustic performance comes in a rugged package that can be operated in the most harsh maritime conditions. Interfaces include a standard microphone as well as a rugged mp3 player designed for easy operation.
LRAD provides vessel operators the ability to determine the intent of a potential threat at the earliest possible moment and at the greatest distance
Whether used for short or long term pleasure cruising, LRAD is a cost effective way to extend a yacht’s security perimeter and enable ship and crew to determine intent and demonstrate their preparedness at safe distance. When properly deployed, in most confrontations LRAD causes attackers to abort their assault and seek out less prepared vessels.
LRAD Systems Enable:
- Create longer stand-off distances and increased protection for ship and crew
- Determine the intent of unidentified threats from extended distances
- Enforce and extend yacht safety zones
