Long Range Acoustic Device LRAD

The professional UAV detection system "Anti-Drone" used to identify and track unauthorized penetration and movement of drones and other UAVs in the protected zone can be supplemented with a Long Range Acoustic Device  LRAD, which is designed to neutralize the drone opertaor and the UAV itself. When Anti-Drone Radar System is used together with the acoustic device LRAD it provides much higher level of safety of the protected area and much higher efficiency in the fight against intrudors.

Long Range Acoustic Device LRAD has become an essential component of security systems thanks to its ability to project a controlled beam of noise, which initially was mainly used for hazing of birds in order to ensure aviation safety. However, nowadays LRAD represents a universal solution applied in a wide variety of security systems, in particular being an important component of perimeter defense systems.

The acoustic device LRAD, also known as a sound or acoustic cannon, can become an effective tool for controlling a drone operator by means of a loud directional sound. The sound cannon can project a controlled beam of noise on the drone operator in order to disorientate him and distract him from controlling a UAV, which at the same time provides the security personnel with time necessary to catch the perpetrator of the incident. Thus, the directional sound pressure level is able to neutralize the drone operator by significantly affecting his eardrums, especially if he is taken unawares and doesn´t have any hearing protection device.

When the operator receives a command, he can enable the projector (manually or using a remote control) and point it at the intrudor, thereby warning him about illegal infiltration and the possible performance of response actions. If the intrudor does not retreat from a plan, the operator can turn on the acoustic protection and point the sound cannon at the drone controller.

Even when the weakest acoustic power is applied, the drone operator feels discomfort, which grows with increase of sound power. When the maximum acoustic output is reached, the drone operator begins to experience unbearable pain in the head and ears, which ultimately leads to his inability to act.

Depending on the purposes of use and the size of the protected perimeter long range acoustic devices LRAD are represented by the following models, that mainly differ in size and acoustic power:
