Vehicle Survey Systems
The Vehicle-Installed Radiation Survey System includes:
- Mobile Radiation Sentry™
- Hand-held Radiation Detector/Identifier
- Soil, Water and Air Samples Collector
- Portable Meteorological Instrument Station
- Video Surveillance System
- Computers, Printers and Software
Mobile Radiation Sentry™ is a mobile raditation detection and survey system that provides flexible solutions for monitoring radiation contamination. It allows for independent measurements in real-time and also provides mobility, both of which are critical components when having to quickly and accurately detect hazards. Mobile Radiation Sentry™ is able to focus on specific sites and relay the data back to its command center by cellular or satellite communications.
