SUPERHAILER Acoustic-Warning Signal Projector for Crowd Control

The SUPERHAILER acoustic projector is a portable, high-power, long-range, and directional communication tool

The SUPERHAILER is not a megaphone; it is a strategic communication tool. Designed for Law Enforcement and Emergency Services, it allows audio messages or deterrent signals to be projected in a PRECISE, CLEAR, and SAFE manner at distances of up to 250 meters.

Its primary function is effective crisis management: it allows officers to reduce tension and manage dynamic situations through persuasion, advice, and clear warnings, all from a safe distance and without the need to resort to physical force. It projects sound at very high but safe volumes to specific groups, individuals, or search areas, while video, location, and sound data evidence are automatically recorded.

Modes of Operation and Functionality

The device operates in two main modes to cut through ambient noise and capture attention:

• Verbal Communication: Transmission of live voice instructions or pre-recorded messages with crystal-clear clarity (sharp intelligibility in any language).
• Deterrent Sound Beam: Emission of a narrow and intense (yet safe) beam of sound to capture the immediate attention of specific individuals or groups or to exert a deterrent effect.

SUPERHAILER can be rapidly deployed to play a pivotal role in reducing dangerous situations.

ADVANTAGES OF USING THE SUPERHAILER LOUDSPEAKER

• Allows for the safe reduction and management of dangerous and challenging situations.
• It is a modern alternative to the use of force.
• Effective range up to 250 meters.
• 100% safe to use, compliant with OSHA health and safety legislation.

Amazing Sound Quality

Astoundingly directional acoustic output, with incomparable message clarity at a distance. The primary functionality of the Superhailer is to create a narrow sound beam that can be used to selectively target an individual or individuals at over ten meters.

Automated Safety Technology (The "Safety Limiter")

SUPERHAILER is the only acoustic device that complies with current health and safety regulations (ISO 1999:1910, OSHA, and NIOSH).

• Intelligent Operation: Integrates a laser rangefinder and an automatic limiting system. When the trigger is pressed, the device instantly measures the distance to the target and adjusts the power output.
• Zero Human Error: The limiter controls sound exposure to safe preset levels (e.g., Max 112dB LAeq below 13 meters). The user simply aims and shoots; the device manages auditory safety, avoiding decision-making problems under stress.

Interface and Usability ("Sound Gun")

Designed to be intuitively operated by a single officer, with minimal training load:

• Ergonomics: Configured like a "gun" with a handle and trigger. Carried comfortably with a shoulder strap.
• LCD Screen and Aiming: Incorporates a sunlight-readable screen showing the live feed from the coaxial camera. An on-screen crosshair facilitates exact orientation of the sound beam.
• Controls: Minimal and intuitive. Screen with date/time stamp and battery indicator.

Comprehensive Evidence Logging (Forensic Audit)

The device creates an unalterable and traceable audit trail of every use, legally protecting police action.

Automatically Recorded Data:

• Video Footage (MPEG4) with low-light capability (0.01 lux).
• "Buffer" Recording: Includes 20-30 seconds before and 60 seconds after transmission.
• Audio recording of the environment and the emitted message.
• Exact GPS Location.
• Time and Date (Local and GMT).
• Distance to target (measured by laser).
• Calculated average sound level at target (dB LAeq).
• Duration of sound exposure.
• Message ID and Device Serial Number.

Export: Data is saved on an OTS USB flash drive (.csv format for data) for simple evidence management.

Operational Usage Scenarios

• De-escalation of demonstrations and control of civil disorder.
• Hostage / siege situations (Negotiation).
• High-risk vehicle checkpoints.
• CBRNE threat management and natural disasters.
• Security at events, festivals, and stadiums.
• Maritime operations / Coastguard / Borders / Customs Control.
• Mental health interventions.
• Search and Rescue (SAR) / Evacuations.
• Prison management.
