Remotely Operated Security & Re- sponse System The LRAD 950RXL is based on a remotely oper- ated LRAD system that won a 2016 competitive bid from the U.S. Navy to add Situational Aware- 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 perimeter communication, security and first re- sponse system. Richard S.
