American Technology Receives $660,000 LRAD-X(TM) Order From Maritime Expeditionary Security Force
SAN DIEGO, CA (NASDAQ: ATCO), a leading provider of directed sound products and technologies, announced today it has received a $660,000 LRAD 500X(TM) order from the Maritime Expedition Security Force. The order, secured through maritime security representative Anchor Innovation, is scheduled to ship this quarter.
"This is the second order we've received from teams within the Maritime Expedition Security Force through Anchor Innovation this year," remarked Tom Brown, president and CEO of American Technology. "We're pleased with Anchor's efforts representing our LRAD-X product line to military and commercial maritime security interests. We have recently expanded their territory to include both the East Coast and West Coast regions."
Anchor Innovation, Inc. (www.anchori.com) is a diversified services company specializing in consulting, management, maintenance, logistics, and operations support to Force Protection/Anti-Terrorism, Port Operations, and Special Warfare organizations within the Department of Defense.
ATC's proprietary LRAD-X products use directionality and focused acoustic output to clearly transmit critical information, instructions and warnings well beyond 500 meters. The LRAD-X product line can be manually operated or integrated into a remotely controlled security network's command and control center. Through the use of powerful voice commands and deterrent tones, large safety zones can be created while determining the intent and influencing the behavior of an intruder. LRAD-X is the only fully integrated solution available today that uses directed sound effectively to assist in securing maritime assets.
"As maritime security threats continue to multiply around the world, a growing number of military and commercial security organizations are deploying LRAD-X systems to help protect maritime assets, particularly ships and their crews," said Brown. "LRAD-X provides security personnel critical long-range hailing and warning capabilities, giving them time and distance to peacefully resolve uncertain situations and potentially save lives on both sides of the system."
Commenting on the Company's early fiscal Q4 2008 performance, Brown concluded, "This order and the orders we fulfilled earlier this month have us off to a strong start in fiscal Q4."
