Drumgrange is pleased to announce it has been successful in delivering
over a million pound contract to the Japanese Coast Guard. The contract,
which was awarded in November 2013, was delivered to Tokyo, Japan on
the 14th February 2014. 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. |

George Howe, MD and owner of Drumgrange, stated “The
challenging project schedule made it imperative that the cooperation
and communication between Marubun and my technical team was responsive,
unambiguous and accurate, as a result the equipment was delivered to
specification and ahead of time”.
The Acoustic Hailing Devices will aid the Japanese Coast Guard in their
continuing efforts to patrol the country’s coastal waters and
will provide much needed long range audio communications. 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. The system can be
removed from its case, assembled and fully functional in less than 15
minutes.
