U.S. Military Deploys LRAD(R) Communications Systems to Assist Earthquake Survivors in Haiti
SAN DIEGO, CA, Jan 26, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
American Technology Corporation (ATC) (NASDAQ: ATCO), the innovator
and distributor of the Long Range Acoustic Device(TM) (LRAD(R))
product line, announced today that the U.S. Military is deploying
several LRAD systems in Haiti to assist in communications with
earthquake survivors. ATC's lightweight LRAD 100X(R) systems are
being used to communicate to survivors gathered around aid stations
and LRAD 500X(R) systems are being deployed on helicopters to deliver
messages regarding the locations of aid stations and supplies across
earthquake damaged areas.
ATC's proprietary LRAD directed sound systems enable military and
emergency responder personnel to communicate clearly over distance by
broadcasting critical information and instructions in multiple
languages to groups and large crowds. LRAD's performance record
coupled with military construction standards, have made it the
communications system of choice for police departments, security
forces and military units around the world. Additional features such
as portability and rugged lightweight waterproof casing enable LRAD
to be deployed rapidly in any type of environment.
"LRAD's multi-language broadcasts via helicopter quickly provide aid
and relief messages to the civilian population that can be clearly
heard from the air," remarked ATC's president and CEO, Tom Brown.
"LRAD's exceptional capacity to address small and large gatherings of
survivors from the air and over distance frees peacekeeping personnel
and emergency responders from having to individually provide
instructions and directions, allowing them to attend to other
critical duties."
