LRAD Corporation's proprietary LRAD directed sound systems enable military forces to communicate clearly and determine the intent of potential threats at safe distances, providing time and distance to employ a measured response to a threat's actions. Through the use of focused multi-lingual voice commands and deterrent tones, LRAD creates large standoff and safety zones, supports peaceful conflict resolution, and potentially saves lives on both sides of the device.

"LRAD systems are becoming an essential part of the layered defense strategies being deployed by international military forces," commented Tom Brown, president and CEO of LRAD Corporation. "LRAD provides military and security organizations the unique capability of communicating, hailing, warning and determining intent at distances up to three kilometers. The fact that this order is the largest international order to date in the Company's history demonstrates the expanding markets for, and the growing acceptance of, LRAD throughout the world."
