Sonic Device Helps Thwart Pirates

Check out American Technology Corporation's Web site for a look at their acoustic force protection devices. Their Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) is credited with helping fend off pirates who attacked a cruise ship off the coast of Africa. In addition to producing a concerted ear-splitting sound, the LRAD can communicate in various languages via the built-in Phraselator. It can also be configured to provide live or continuously recorded audio.
