American Technology Corporation (ATC) (NASDAQ: ATCO), a leading provider of directed sound products and technologies, announced today it has received a new $400,000 LRAD(R) order from bird control and protection partner, DeTect, Inc., the world leader in development, deployment and support of radar systems for aircraft bird strike avoidance, avian risk assessment and migratory research. The order is scheduled to ship this quarter.
LRAD is highly effective using directionality and focused acoustic output to clearly transmit tones and predator calls at distances in excess of 2,000 meters (please view the following link: atcsd.com. LRAD can be manually operated or integrated into remotely controlled command and control centers.
"We are experiencing growing interest from mining, agriculture, fisheries and other business interests that have wildlife mitigation and protection concerns," commented Tom Brown, president and CEO of ATC. "Airports, air bases, harbors, wind farms and other critical facilities that have human and wildlife safety concerns are also recognizing the benefits of LRAD's unique long range, highly intelligible communications and warning capabilities."
Brown added, "While our main market continues to be supporting military and commercial security organizations around the world, LRAD is proving to be a versatile and essential tool for diverse applications including part of a layered defense strategy for maritime security, border/port security, law enforcement/first responder communications, protecting wildlife, and saving industries and organizations from millions of dollars in annual losses due to wildlife-related crop and equipment damage, and aircraft bird strike-related accidents."
