The Long Range Acoustic Device™ (LRAD®) is a breakthrough hailing and warning, directed acoustic device designed to communicate with authority and exceptionally high intelligibility.

Developed specifically in response to the USS Cole attack, LRAD fulfills a capability gap for military vessels to hail, notify, and warn approaching vessels at extended ranges with clear voice or prerecorded messages in almost any language.
LRAD provides military personnel the capability to transition through the rules of engagement to determine a target's intent, and also provides greater assurance that innocent lives on both sides of the device are not lost due to miscommunication.
The LRAD Advantage:
- HIGH DIRECTIONALITY
- Reduces the risk of exposing nearby personnel to excessive audio levels
- HIGH DECIBEL OUTPUT
- Clear communication and unmistakable warning at extended ranges
- Attention-getting and highly irritating deterrent tone for behavior modification
- COST EFFICIENCY
- Increased security coverage
- Reduced manpower
- Increased operational efficiency
- Increased response capabilities
- EASE OF INSTALLATION
- Low power requirements
- Weatherproof
- Lightweight
- Flexible mounting (Optional SCRAM Cart configuration)
- PROVEN TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
- In combat since December 2003
- At sea since May 2004
- Maritime security since August 2004
- Public safety since August 2004
The LRAD 1000 can issue a verbal challenge with instructions in excess of 500 meters and has the capability of following up with a warning tone of 151 dB (at one meter) to influence behavior or determine intent.
The LRAD 500 produces a sound pattern that provides clear communication beyond 300 meters. The deterrent tone can reach a maximum of 145 dB (at one meter) to influence behavior or determine intent.
LRAD-X™
The LRAD-X product line is designed to broadcast powerful and intelligible voice messages and warning tones. The superior voice intelligibility and clarity of the LRAD-1000X provides a highly directional audio beam that achieves maximum sound projection and penetration over distance (500 meters and beyond). LRAD-X operators have the ability to issue clear, authoritative verbal commands, followed with powerful deterrent tones to enhance response capabilities.
Remote Long Range Acoustic Device LRAD-R™LRAD-R can be operated remotely across an IP network enabling system operators to respond to potential threats from a safe environment while creating a complete unmanned perimeter security solution. LRAD-R accepts intruder position information from other IP-enabled sensor systems to automatically find and track potential threats. LRAD-R's large safety zone gives security personnel additional time and valuable information if an elevated intruder response becomes necessary.
LRAD Products Enable:
- Longer stand-off distances for increased force protection
- Larger coverage with fewer assets
- Evidence of use of reasonable force
- Positive determination of intent of groups or individuals from extended distances
