$1.1 Million HyperSpike Order for Bird Deterrence Announced by Ultra Electronics USSI
A second order, over $1.1 million, has been received by Ultra Electronics USSI for multiple HyperSpike acoustic hailing devices to be used in leading-edge bird deterrent application.

COLUMBIA CITY, IN, August 11, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Ultra Electronics USSI, manufacturer of the innovative HyperSpike long range, acoustic hailing devices (AHD), announced today it has received a second order, over $1.1 million, for multiple UL/ETL certified HyperSpike systems that will be installed at an international industrial site this year. The HyperSpike devices, integrated with an Accipiter /Birdavert radar-activated bird deterrent system, are activated when birds attempt to enter an area that is potentially hazardous.

"HyperSpike AHD's have proven to be highly effective in deterring birds around industrial sites," remarked Thomas Link, V.P. Audio Products, Ultra Electronics USSI. "Wildlife protection and deterrence is a growing concern among industries such as mining, gas processing and power facilities," Link concluded.

Traditional methods of using the same audio noise can cause birds to habituate to a deterrent that is designed to keep them away from hazardous situations. When integrated with avian radar technology, HyperSpike AHD systems are activated when birds are detected. HyperSpike's powerful and focused acoustic output transmits a wide variety of tones, predator and distress calls at a distance in excess of 1500 meters. The acoustic tones and bird calls can be tailored to the various species of wildlife to provide effective, non-habituating protection and deterrence.

Elsewhere, demand for HyperSpike acoustic hailing devices continues to grow as evidenced by Ultra's strong international sales and market penetration to countries in Europe, Asia and North America. In the first half of the year, China, India, United Arab Emirates, Canada, and the United Kingdom have showcased the growing need for long range acoustic communication technologies.
