You will almost certainly need a highly focused system, with
parabolic reflectors to direct the sound. It seems unlikely
that you will have one small driver that can output the
required excursion at 25 kHz. so you will need an array
of drivers, with careful phase control to direct the beam.
The whole thing will come down to how carefully you can
get it focussed.

On the other hand, if you are looking for wide-area
coverage, this is gonna take a lot of power!
