LRAD Corporation Receives New LRAD® Order for Waterfowl Control
Mining Companies Installing LRAD Systems to Protect Birds
SAN DIEGO, CA, June 30, 2011 - LRAD Corporation (NASDAQ: LRAD), the world's leading provider of acoustic hailing devices (AHDs), announced today it has received a new $500,000+ order for a multiple LRAD systems installation at an international mining site. The installation will be integrated with an avian radar system from DeTect, Inc.. The order is scheduled to ship this summer.
"LRAD has proven to be highly effective in protecting birds around mining sites," remarked Tom Brown, president and CEO of LRAD Corporation. "Prior to LRAD being fielded, one mining operation recorded over 1,000 bird deaths annually as a result of drinking from tainted tailing ponds. After installing LRAD, the mining operation recorded only six bird deaths the following twelve months."
LRAD systems use controlled directionality and focused acoustic output to clearly transmit tones and predator calls at distances in excess of 2,000 meters. LRAD can be manually operated or integrated into remotely controlled command and control centers.
"With regulatory authorities increasingly assessing multi-million dollar fines on mining companies when waterfowl deaths exceed government guidelines, more mining concerns are installing avian radar-equipped LRAD systems to protect birds." Brown concluded.
