August 14, 2006—A ruggedized remotely controlled directed, focused acoustic energy system, for use in remotely operated commercial and military security applications, has jointly been developed by American Technology Corporation (ATC) and Moog Inc.
ATC is known for its proprietary directed acoustic and innovations expertise in military and commercial directed sound products and solutions. Moog, Inc., is known for its expertise in the design, development, and production of high performance motion control systems and motion simulators.
Known as the Remotely Controlled Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD-R), the directional acoustic system is a turnkey security solution that enables users to determine the intent of potential security threats as well as readily communicate over distance (up to or in excess of 500 meters) from a remote location. The LRAD-R features high acoustic output (peak acoustic levels of 151 dB at the emitter unit), providing a highly effective volume controlled communications and hailing and warning capability, the companies say.
LRAD-R consists of an LRAD emitter head, pan/tilt device for precise audio targeting, on-board camera to aid in the tracking/aiming of the acoustic energy software with easy-to-use graphical user interface, and all associated cables and power electronics with a simple two-cable connection for all power requirements, and all standard optional signals.
The custom software allows complete, easy-to-use control of multiple LRAD-R systems. The software also includes an MP3 player and file manager for customized vocal recording, on-board system diagnostic tools for real-time system equipment health monitoring, display for video input from on-board camera, video and audio recording capabilities to accurately record “events of interest,” and a host of other advanced features.
