Survivability and Force Protection. TACOM's new GAYL Blaster is sure to be a head-banger. An Adverse Audible Acoustic Device (A3D) source employing synchronous and non-synchronous acoustic energy providing non-lethal effects, but is a viable crowd deterrent, particularly for enclosed areas. Device can be vehicle mounted or hand held as shown using a 6 amp, 12 volt, power supply covering a wide or narrow beam broadcast area with a 50 meter standoff capability. Hearing protection provides little or no utility as a countermeasure.
