The LRAD-RX units will be mounted on vessels in the country's fleet, and used for various naval applications. An initial $950,000 is scheduled to ship by September 30, 2014, with the balance to be shipped as new vessels are built and commissioned.
"The LRAD brand continues to be the industry standard for acoustic hailing devices used for naval applications throughout the world," noted Tom Brown, President and CEO of LRAD Corporation.

The LRAD-RX can be operated onboard vessels or remotely across an IP network, enabling system operators to respond to potential threats from a safe location out of harm's way. The LRAD-RX provides highly intelligible speech transmissions over 3,000 meters to provide naval personnel additional time and valuable information to assess and appropriately respond to threat situations.
