American Tech (ATCO) Receives $1.1M Order from U.S. SOCOM for LRAD Systems
American Technology Corporation (ATC) (NASDAQ: ATCO) announced today it has received an order totaling approximately $1.1 million from the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM). The order, scheduled to ship this quarter, includes LRAD 100X and 300X systems that will be deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq and other areas of the world where SOCOM is engaged in contingency operations.
The LRAD 100X is a self-contained, portable acoustic hailing device (AHD) that outperforms conventional megaphones and other portable hailing systems. The 100X is 20-30dBs louder than top of the line megaphones and other portable systems of comparable size and power. Optimized driver and wave-guide design ensure clear voice communications so every syllable is understood even over background noise from vehicles, vessels, sirens and large crowds. This extraordinary acoustic performance comes in a rugged package that can be operated in all weather conditions. Interfaces include a standard microphone as well as rugged MP3 player designed for easy operation in demanding environments. The LRAD 100X is the world's best solution for portable on-scene and tactical communication.
"LRAD's unique and powerful communications and deterrent capabilities are being increasingly required by military and security forces," commented Tom Brown, ATC's president and CEO. "We're also experiencing growing military interest in incorporating LRAD into UAV and USV applications."
