Homeland Security

The challenges in Homeland Security are real. To ensure that rad/nuc material is not illicitly trafficked, infrastructure to monitor ports and borders has become a necessity.

Task
Support homeland security by preventing radiological and nuclear sources from entering a country

Challenge
Many harmless materials cause false alarms in conventional systems. False alarms interrupt daily operations at points of entry that negatively impacts homeland security.  

Solution
Alarm categorization reduces the amount of false alarms significantly, ensuring high throughput and enhanced security while reducing the need for trained personnel.

Benefits
Arktis solutions provide up to 90% reduced false alarm rates compared to conventional systems.

Applications
Cargo & Vehicle Inspection

In addition, networks of monitoring devices have become a viable candidate for the protection of critical infrastructure and mass events. This novel approach to homeland security became possible thanks to new innovations in detection technologies which allow cost-effective, widespread, large area monitoring. Arktis is a proud performer in DARPA's SIGMA program and is producing large area neutron detectors for networked applications.
