Genasys – Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRAD) & Critical Communications Solutions
Genasys is a global leader in critical communications and protective messaging systems, trusted by defence forces, law enforcement agencies, emergency services, and infrastructure operators worldwide. With over 40 years of operational experience, Genasys delivers Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRAD) and integrated communication solutions that enable authorities to warn, instruct, negotiate, and protect lives in complex and high risk environments.
As the Australian delivery partner, Tactical Solutions supplies and supports Genasys LRAD systems tailored to local operational, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
LRAD 100X – Tactical Communication for Negotiation & Warrant Execution
The LRAD 100X is a lightweight, portable long range communication system designed for law enforcement tactical operations, including
Negotiation and de-escalation,
Warrant execution high risk arrests,
Crowd control and public order policing, and
Emergency response and incident management.
The LRAD delivers highly intelligible, focused voice communication well beyond standard PA systems, so the LRAD 100X enables officers to communicate clearly from standoff distances, reducing risk to personnel while maintaining command authority.
Key Capabilities Include
Directional voice projection up to 600 metres,
Exceptional speech intelligibility in high-noise environments,
Portable, battery-powered operation,
Rapid deployment for dynamic operations, and
Clear communication into buildings and vehicles.
The LRAD 100X Long Range Acoustic Device provides a less-lethal, communication-first capability, supporting modern policing principles of de-escalation, officer safety, and proportional response.
LRAD 950NXT – Fixed & Remote Communications for Ports and Secure Sites
The LRAD 950NXT Long Rang Acoustic Device is a remotely operated, integrated communication and response system designed for critical infrastructure protection and perimeter security, including:
Ports and maritime facilities,
Secure government and defence sites,
Power generation and utilities, and
Dams, water infrastructure, and industrial facilities.
Capable of projecting clear voice messages and warning tones up to 3,000 metres, the LRAD 950NXT creates an acoustic security perimeter, allowing operators to safely challenge, warn, and instruct individuals or vessels before escalation is required.
Key Capabilities
Long-range, highly directional voice communication
Remote pan-and-tilt operation from command centres
Integrated HD camera and optional sensors
24/7 unmanned perimeter security capability
Reduced manpower and false alarms
The LRAD 950NXT is widely deployed at ports and maritime facilities, where clear communication over wind, engine noise, and distance is critical to maintaining safety and security.
Emergency Warning & Public Safety Communications
Beyond security applications, Genasys Long Range Acoustic Device systems play a critical role in emergency warning and public safety, particularly in environments where traditional warning systems may fail or lack reach.
Flood & Dam Safety Warnings
LRAD systems are highly effective for:
Flood warnings downstream of dams and spillways,
Water release and evacuation alerts, and
Creek crossings and flood-prone waterways
Directional, high-intelligibility audio ensures warnings are heard and understood over wind, rain, and background noise, even when power or telecommunications infrastructure is compromised.
Severe Weather & Outdoor Public Safety
Long Range Acoustic Device systems are also used for:
Storm and lightning warnings on golf courses
Severe weather alerts at outdoor venues
Rapid public safety messaging in open environments
By delivering clear, authoritative instructions across wide areas, LRAD supports early warning, rapid response, and life safety outcomes.
