Market Challenges

•  Acoustic hailing devices, including Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs), are utilized extensively in law enforcement activities due to their ability to emit sound output exceeding 135 decibels. While effective for crowd control, these devices can cause significant discomfort and potential harm to the human ear. The human ear can only withstand 120 decibels before experiencing pain. Exposure to high-intensity tones from LRADs may result in nerve injury, inner ear trauma, hyper ears, and temporary or permanent hearing loss. Concerns over health effects may limit the adoption of acoustic hailing devices, thereby restraining market growth during the forecast period.

•  The Acoustic Hailing Devices (AHD) market encompasses various sectors, including early warning systems, critical infrastructure protection, wildlife protection, force protection, equipment and machinery, non-lethal weapons, border control, immigration, law enforcement, military groups, and public safety. Challenges in these areas include protests and riots, drones, international political climate, controversial government policies, and the common man’s safety. AHDs, such as the Hyperspike HS-10 and LRAD speakers and systems, play a crucial role in crowd control, checkpoints, patrols, convoys, maritime shipping, and mass notifications. They are essential tools for law enforcement, military, and security personnel in ensuring public safety, defense, and law and order. Additionally, AHDs are used for bird control, commercial security, coastal security, border patrol, and fire brigade and rescue worker communications.
