The MDS (Mobile Detection System) is used as a mobile radiation reconnaissance system for operation by ground vehicle or helicopter. It is designed for rapid, large-area searches to detect and locate the presence of lost or stolen radiation sources or to map areas of wide spread contamination. It is a light weight portable system which uses a large volume plastic scintillator that incorporates NBR technology. This allows for near instant threat detection by having the ability to quickly and effectively discriminate between varying levels of natural background gamma radiation and anything that is artificial or enhanced.
Both the total and artificial gamma dose rates are recorded with GPS information in Maptrack software and displayed local maps, along with a real time response to immediately show any changes in the radiation levels. Any standard or special order external probe that is used with the FH40G digital meter can also be connected to the MDS, so that alpha, gamma and neutron radiation can be detected and viewed on the same screen. Highly sensitive neutron detectors are also available for the detection of special nuclear materials.
The MDS can be used as a stand alone reconnaissance tool with Maptrack and/or with any version of ArcView GIS software, giving the operator full access to a complete GIS toolbox. Custom applications can also be created, for any response scenario, using an ESRI ArcEngine. Incidents can be mapped in real time and hazard models can simultaneously be confirmed or denied from the same user interface. Powerful interagency GIS based responses can be generated from the incident or command center. Missions can be controlled at the command center level, using the remote viewing of data, which can be transmitted by radio or GSM device.
