ness Systems capabilities on Military Sealift Com-
mand ships as well as other U.S. Navy and Coast
Guard vessels.
Controlled remotely across an IP network, the
LRAD 950RXL is a fully functional, unmanned

of the remotely operated system we build for the
U.S. Navy,” remarked Richard S. Danforth, Chief
Executive Officer of LRAD Corporation.
“With its ability to immediately interact with poten-
tial threats at a distance, the LRAD 950RXL pro-
vides security personnel the additional time and
information necessary to accurately assess situa-
tions and scale their response appropriately.”
The LRAD 950RXL achieves a maximum output
of 156dB and broadcasts highly intelligible voice
messages and warning tones out to 3,000 me-
ters.

al) and a robust, IP-addressable full pan and tilt
drive for precise aiming and tracking, the LRAD
950RXL can also be integrated with radar to pro-
vide automated intruder alerts.

and provides detailed 950RXL health diagnostics.
