Mobile Radiation Detection and Monitoring System | Radiation Solutions, Inc.

General Description
The RS-700 Series are self-contained gamma-ray and neutron (optional) radiation detection and monitoring systems. They can be used in land vehicles, helicopters or at a fixed site. The system has a built in GPS receiver to accurately locate each measurement. It is also supplied with the RadAssist survey program for user control, monitoring and recording. The system is flexible enough to permit real-time monitoring with a computer or operate in a stand-alone configuration with the data being recorded internally and later retrieved. Alternatively, the data can be transmitted to a central command point in real time stored and transmitted at a later time. The RS-700 utilizes advanced DSP /FPGA technology and software techniques that provide laboratory levels of spectral performance that were previously unachievable on mobile platforms. Despite its state-of-the-art technology, the RS-700 is extremely operator friendly and can be rapidly deployed. The system provides - full 1024 channel spectrum - navigation track with 'breadcrumb' trail - Mapping displays - nuclide identification - alarm capability.

Technical Description
A basic RS-700 system uses a 256 or 128 cubic inch sodium iodide detector as its primary detector. Other types are optionally available. Up to five detectors can be placed on the system The heart of the system is the Advanced Digital Spectrometer (ADS) module. Each individual NaI crystal detector has its own high speed analog to digital converter and a DSP /FPGA processor assembly. This module converts the analog signal from the detector to a digital spectrum with a 1,000,000 channel resolution. Using a unique detector energy calibration curve stored in the ADS assembly, the spectrum is linearized and compressed to the system's active 1024 channel resolution.
