U.S. Navy Orders $2.0M in LRAD by Genasys Maritime Communication Systems

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader in Protective Communications, today announced a $2.0 million LRAD maritime systems order from the U.S. Navy (Navy). The follow-on order is part of the Navy’s ongoing replacement of first generation LRADs with new LRAD 1000Xi extended range communication and ship protection systems. The order is scheduled for delivery this fiscal year.

“The LRAD 1000Xi systems are slated for deployment on Navy surface combatants, large amphibious ships, and aircraft carriers,” said Richard Danforth, Chief Executive Officer of Genasys. “LRADs have provided Navy ships with extended range, over-water communication and scalable escalation of force capabilities for more than 20 years. LRADs enhance operational effectiveness, strengthen ship self-defense, and improve safety on Navy and Coast Guard ships whether in port or deployed.”

The U.S. Military and more than 30 international Navies and Coast Guards deploy LRADs for a variety of missions and operations, including ship-to-ship communication, establishing vessel exclusion zones and restricted areas, interceptions and interdictions, search and rescue, environmental responses, coastal water control, port and shore side security, anti-piracy, maritime immigration encounters, and more.

The LRAD 1000Xi features rugged military construction for reliable operation in extreme maritime conditions. By broadcasting audible hails, warnings, and commands that are clearly heard and understood over wind, engine, and background noise out to 3,000 meters, the LRAD 1000Xi provides more time and distance to communicate, determine intent, de-escalate dangerous situations, and save lives.
