This is a first for Drumgrange in the supply of AHD’s to the Japanese market and was achieved with the enormous support of its Japanese partner, Marubun Corporation, a Tokyo based trading house.

Drumgrange’s Acoustic Hailing Devices have been designed for high speech intelligibility at distances up to 1500m both on land and at sea, making them the ideal communicator for naval applications, commercial security, CBRN, merchant shipping, emergency services, oil & gas platforms and port & border protection.

Two types of AHD have been delivered; the four horn, AHD-9-14Z and two horn, AHD-5-12Z.These devices have a unique modular construction allowing for commonality of spares and single user assembly and operation.
