Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS) has secured $2.5 million in Long Range Acoustic Device® (LRAD) orders from the US Military, covering Army, Navy, and Air Force units both domestically and overseas. LRAD systems provide long-range communication and escalation of force (EOF) capabilities, supporting various military missions from combat to humanitarian operations.
The systems are designed to broadcast clear voice messages and warning tones over long distances and through loud background noise, with an effective range of up to 5,000 meters. LRAD has successfully passed approximately 40 separate U.S government tests, including all MILSPEC testing for heat, humidity and shock, and is currently deployed in over 100 countries.
Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS) has secured $1.0M in orders for its LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) systems to protect critical infrastructure in multiple locations. The orders include installations at oil and gas facilities in Australia and Canada, and electrical substations of a major U.S. utility.
The announcement comes amid rising security concerns, with the U.S. Department of Energy reporting 175 instances of physical attacks or threats against grid infrastructure in 2023. The company's LRAD 950NXT systems will be integrated with existing security systems at select substations, addressing the six security requirements established by the North American Energy Reliability : Detect, Assess, Communicate, Respond, Delay, and Deter.
This marks the second regional utility to implement LRAD systems for substation security. The technology provides first-response capability by broadcasting alerts and warnings, enhancing traditional observe-only security installations across 1,500 CIP-014 electrical substations in the U.S.
