LRAD® PRODUCT LINE AT FPED VII
New LRAD 300X™ Designed With Input From Military Organizations
SAN DIEGO, CA, May 18, 2009 - American Technology Corporation (ATC) (NASDAQ: ATCO), a leading provider of directed sound products and technologies, today announced that it will unveil and demonstrate the newest member of its LRAD® product line, the LRAD 300X™, at the Force Protection Equipment Demonstration (FPED VII), being held May 19 - 21, 2009 at the Stafford County Regional Airport in Stafford, Virginia.
FPED VII is conducted by the U.S. Army Product Manager, Force Protection Systems under the sponsorship of several federal agencies including the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense For Acquisition, Technology & Logistics, the Department of Homeland Security, the Joint Staff, and others. FPED brings together knowledgeable leaders from around the world and puts them in contact with manufacturers with equipment solutions for physical security/force protection needs. FPED provides leaders and decision makers from the Department of Defense, Federal departments and agencies, and selected state/local law enforcement and corrections agencies the opportunity to observe, and become familiar with, commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) physical security/force protection equipment available for procurement and testing within 90 days of the demonstration.
ATC's LRAD 300X is a compact, lightweight solution for use on small vessels, common remote-operated weapon systems, and most military and armored vehicles. It can be easily transported to provide security personnel long-range communications and a highly effective hailing and warning capability where needed. The LRAD 300X produces focused, 100% intelligible voice transmission over 88dB of background noise beyond 200 meters. It can communicate in excess of 1500 meters depending on local terrain and environment. LRAD 300X operators have the ability to issue clear, authoritative verbal commands, followed with powerful deterrent tones to influence the behavior of targeted threats. (Please see the following link for more LRAD 300X information and specifications: atcsd.com
"We received significant input from military organizations in the design of the 300X," remarked Tom Brown, president and CEO of ATC. "Along with the LRAD 100X™, 500X™, 1000X™ and the remotely-operated LRAD RX™, we have assembled a formidable line of Long Range Acoustic Devices™. LRAD systems are tailored for use by law enforcement and emergency responders, land/sea-based military and commercial security personnel, homeland defense and border enforcement agencies, and for wildlife control and bird strike avoidance."

LRAD 300X™ ORDER FROM U.S. ARMY'S RAPID EQUIPPING FORCE
SAN DIEGO, CA, June22, 2009 - American Technology Corporation (ATC) (NASDAQ: ATCO), a leading provider of directed sound products and technologies, announced today it has been awarded a $675,000 Long Range Acoustic Device 300X™ order from the U.S. Army's Rapid Equipping Force (REF) for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles and base perimeter security installations in Afghanistan. The mission of the REF is to equip operational commanders with commercial-off-the-shelf and government-off-the-shelf solutions to increase effectiveness, reduce risk and insert future force technologies and surrogates to validate concepts and speed capabilities to U.S. Army forces.
The LRAD 300X is the latest addition to ATC's proprietary LRAD product line, which also includes the LRAD 100X™, 500X™, 1000X™ and the remotely operated LRAD-RX™. The 300X is a compact, lightweight solution for use on military and armored vehicles, common remote-operated weapon systems, and small vessels. It can be easily transported to provide security personnel long-range communications and a highly effective acoustic hailing device (AHD) capability where needed. It can communicate in excess of 1500 meters depending on local terrain and environment. LRAD 300X operators have the ability to issue multi-lingual, clear, authoritative verbal commands, followed by powerful deterrent tones to influence the behavior of targeted threats.
"LRAD 300X gives our soldiers the ability to rapidly transition through escalation of force requirements while quickly identifying hostile threats," remarked Scott Stuckey, ATC's vice president of business development. "Our LRAD systems can also help reduce civilian and military casualties by enabling soldiers and sailors to communicate from the safety of their vehicles and ships and diffuse situations before they become deadly."
"We attribute this award to our efforts in developing a series of AHD systems that meet the rigorous specifications of our military customers," commented Tom Brown, president and CEO of ATC. "We received input on the design requirements for the 300X from military organizations who have an increasing need for LRAD's unique capabilities to determine intent, create large safety zones, resolve uncertain situations, and potentially save lives on both sides of the device."

What would you think of them buying out a non-lethal laser company and combining the technologies onto the same "gun"? LNGT has some interesting non-lethal tech and there may be others out there better at long range. Could be quite a combo. |

"If the LRAD is all they need, then why are they not selling like hot cakes to military and law enforcement?"
and what does that have to do with Lasers? how would lasers make them better? Until youve experianced it first hand you dont realize the immeanse power of this thing. That said, im not adverse to lasers, just expain why you think it would be more effective.
As a side note, Woody does not need another "project" to work on, he needs to focus on selling what he does have (or keep employed people that can focus). One of this companies biggist problems is a lack of direction. |

I know they have had some small orders and they have had time to use it but no really big or long-term orders? The new name implies the "focus" change you refer and something needs to change as this stock has been on a down turn since 2005. Non-Lethal crowd control is huge market and if LRAD is the best, then it should be selling. BTW I do own a small amount of stock and I'm trying to decide if I should average down or take a small loss. |

Its an answer but certianly not the only answer and definatly not the cheapest. Still no idea what that has to do with adding lasers.
"I know they have had some small orders and they have had time to use it but no really big or long-term orders? "
nope, mostly testing from what i can see. Pretty specific situations and applications. nothing general that i know of.
"The new name implies the "focus" change you refer and something needs to change as this stock has been on a down turn since 2005."
Yes it would indicate that most of the commerical ideas for using the system have failed. Pretty disappointing.
"Non-Lethal crowd control is huge market and if LRAD is the best, then it should be selling."
Best? I doubt it. Way to big. cumbersome.
"BTW I do own a small amount of stock and I'm trying to decide if I should average down or take a small loss."
Its an incredibly neat idea, works, has some uses. My reservations are two;
1. managment is poor and transient. Woody being the worst
2. successful applications in any general niche or industry have not been forthcoming.
on the plus side
Woody is a Genius.
you want to invest in a neat gadget that may be a home run someday. keep it.
you beleive managment is imperative to a good company. sell it. |

| To: deeno who wrote (2049) | 1/15/2010 1:57:35 PM | | From: CrazyTrain | | | | | Thanks for your detailed response. I decided to sell and take the small loss. I was looking at a laser deterrent company and thought ATCO could offer more non-lethal options as a package deal if that is the new focus. I will keep an eye on ATCO and may buy later. |
