New LRAD Systems to Enhance Security at Hoover Dam
Remotely Operated LRAD 950NXTs Replacing First Generation LRADs at National Landmark
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader in Protective Communications, today announced an LRAD 950NXT integrated surveillance, security, and first response systems order from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for Hoover Dam. Genasys’ LRAD systems have provided Hoover Dam critical infrastructure protection (CIP) and dam security capabilities since 2016.
“Upgrading to 950NXTs strengthens security around Hoover Dam and enhances safety in the Lake Mead and Lake Mohave (Colorado River) restricted water areas by keeping boaters and fishermen away from the dam,” said Richard Danforth, Chief Executive Officer of Genasys. “Our 950NXT’s field upgradeable Genasys Protect software has comprehensive functionality with easy-to-use controls that enable operators to identify possible threats on the live video feed, position the 950NXT’s pan & tilt drive to target the threat, and then broadcast attention-commanding warning tones and voice messages with exceptional clarity out to 3,000 meters.”
Utilizing technology developed and patented by Genasys, the 950NXT provides security personnel additional time and information to accurately assess situations and appropriately scale responses. Featuring an integrated HD camera, high-intensity searchlight (optional), and robust pan-and-tilt drive, when integrated with radar or motion sensors the 950NXT provides automated intruder alerts and becomes a fully functional, unmanned perimeter security and first response system.
Genasys’ LRAD systems have been utilized for decades to protect critical infrastructure throughout the U.S. and around the globe. Genasys is a trusted source of CIP for dams, nuclear facilities, offshore oil platforms, and other vital facilities. The recent U.S. federal allocation of $185 million for dam rehabilitation is a prime example of the near constant demand for infrastructure maintenance, improvement, and protection.
