Leading Protective Communications technology helps international military operations
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader in protective communications solutions, today announced a new foreign military sales (FMS) contract award for a Middle Eastern defense force. The multi-phase program, worth more than two million USD, 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. 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.” said Peter Ayre, VP of Europe, Middle East & Africa for Genasys.
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”, said Richard S. Danforth, Chief Executive Officer of Genasys.
Genasys’ superior technology and leadership in the maritime sector has led 26 international Navies and Coast Guards to install LRADs on their ships and patrol boats. This most recent LRAD order further demonstrates the world’s militaries’ commitment to Genasys’ technologies.
