Genasys, a global leader in protective communications solutions – and the 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Platinum Award Champion for Best Long-Range Acoustic Hailing Solution – has been selected for a new foreign military sales (FMS) contract award for a Middle Eastern defense force.

Valued at over two million USD, this multi-phase program will deploy Genasys’ long-range acoustic hailing devices (LRADs) on multiple ships and shore installations across the country’s Navy.

“The recent escalation in tensions across the region, combined with a worsening coastal security situation and unstable borders, are creating strong demand for LRAD,” explains Peter Ayre, Genasys’ VP of Europe, Middle East & Africa.

“The ability to establish the intent of vessels in coastal waters, de-escalate potentially dangerous situations and avoid the use of force, is a critical element of maritime operations.” 

Remotely controlled 950NXT for large vessels and various manually operated AHDs such as the 1000Xi and 450XL will provide long-range, clear voice communications at thousands of meters out.

“Our long-standing association with the U.S. military and our leadership in the acoustic hailing market means Genasys is ideally placed to continue supporting international defense forces worldwide, and we continue to see an increase in demand from the international market,” added Richard S. Danforth, Chief Executive Officer of Genasys.

 

LRAD 950NXT

The LRAD 950NXT is the world’s most advanced acoustic-hailing device.

The 950NXT’s field upgradeable software has comprehensive functionality with easy-to-use controls that enable operators to identify possible threats on the live video feed, position the 950NXT’s IP-addressable full pan & tilt to target the threat, and then broadcast attention-commanding warning tones and voice messages.

LRAD 950NXT broadcasts offer exceptional clarity from the safety of a command and control center.

When integrated with radar or motion sensors, the 950NXT provides automated security alerts, becoming a fully functional, unmanned perimeter security and first response system that can alleviate the unnecessary use of force, resolve uncertain situations, and save lives.

 

LRAD 1000Xi

The LRAD 1000Xi is a power-efficient, long-distance communication system designed for applications ranging from critical infrastructure protection to territorial water, border, and port security and large vessel and vehicle installations.

Featuring a rugged carbon fiber emitter head integrated with electronics and amplification, the LRAD 1000Xi comes standard with an MP3 Control Module for playing recorded messages and an all-weather microphone for live broadcasts.

 

LRAD 450XL

Low in profile, lightweight, and designed for temporary or fixed mounting on tripods, small vessels, vehicles, and Common Remotely Operated Weapon Stations (CROWS), the LRAD 450XL incorporates LRAD’s patented technology to generate the audio output of a unit almost twice its size and weight with the same high level of clarity and intelligibility consistent with the LRAD product line.

The pinnacle of the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security and Government Excellence Awards is the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards Ceremony and Banquet Luncheon.

In 2023, this exclusive sold-out event featured at ISC East, well over two hundred representatives of law enforcement, public safety, and industry leaders came together to honor the selfless service of those who stand on the front lines – and those who stand beside them – providing the capabilities and technologies to create a safer world for future generations.

Comprehensive collaborations between these private and public sectors have led to the development of innovative intelligence and technologies that serve to protect our Nation.

Steven Dettelbach, Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) and Explosives, delivered the keynote address at the 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security and Excellence in Public Safety Awards Ceremony and Banquet Luncheon.

Director Dettelbach spoke with passion on the epidemic of Gun Violence by Illegal Guns taking place across the United States, which results in over 125 deaths daily and impacting generations of families – leaving open chairs at holiday events.

Firearm injuries were the leading case of death for children for the third year in a row, he explained, and have doubled in the U.S. since 2021, levels that are simply intolerable.

Director Dettelbach lauded the strong partnerships with Federal, State, Local, and Tribal Policing that ATF has earned and relies upon to reduce violence and spoke with admiration as a former prosecutor on the selfless sense of mission and drive that is universal across the entire First Responder Community.

The prestigious Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program highlights the most cutting-edge and forward-thinking security solutions coming onto the market today to ensure our readers have the information they need to stay ahead of the competition and keep our Nation safe – one facility, street, and city at a time.

The ‘ASTORS’ was specifically designed to honor distinguished government and vendor solutions that deliver enhanced value, benefit, and intelligence to end-users in a variety of government, homeland security, enterprise, and public safety vertical markets.
