Mobile Radiation Monitoring System
Arktis MODES_SNM is a highly modular, customizable platform that detects and identifies radiological and nuclear materials. The mobile radiation monitoring system is also available to be kept ready for rapid deployment in emergencies.
Mobile radiation monitoring systems have the versatility to cover a broad spectrum of radiation detection missions. While deployed for daily use in port security and law enforcement, they can be kept ready for rapid deployment in emergencies that could include reactor accidents, heightened terrorism threats, recovery actions for lost or stolen nuclear materials, or intelligence driven operations.
Key Features
- High radiation detection performance
- Versatile and mission-configurable
- Minimal training needed
- Peripherals (cameras and occupancy sensors)
- Reliable high speed screening
- Low false alarm rate: Less than 1 out of 10,000 passages
- User friendly software and GUI
- 3He-free neutron detection technology (no dependence on scarce material)
- Data transfer to a network or central alarm station
- Compatible with third party software - integration supported
Three functionality packages allow the mobile radiation detection system to be configured for each customer's mission.
