Genasys Secures $2M LRAD Order for Singapore Navy Unmanned Vessels
Event summary
- Genasys Inc. received a $2.0M order to equip Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) unmanned surface vessels (USVs) with LRAD 950NXT systems.
- The LRAD 950NXT features gyro-stabilization for long-range communication in maritime environments up to 3,000 meters.
- Further orders are expected as the RSN expands its USV fleet, which began operational patrols in the Singapore Strait last year.
- The LRAD 950NXT can be operated manually or semi-automated, providing remote operators with flexibility and enhanced capabilities.
The big picture
This order underscores the growing adoption of unmanned surface vessels in maritime security, particularly in congested waterways like the Singapore Strait. The LRAD 950NXT's ability to enhance communication and surveillance capabilities aligns with broader trends in autonomous naval systems, where remote operation and advanced sensor technologies are becoming critical. The $2.0M deal also highlights the strategic importance of protective communication systems in modern naval operations, potentially opening doors for similar contracts with other international navies.
