STRIDE systems | FLIR Systems, Inc. | WMD Detector Selector

General Description
STRIDE Detection Systems are available in a wide variety of sizes and features to detect and identify radioactive material. They can be openly or covertly installed in building entrances, at airports, bus or train stations, above or beside luggage or freight conveyer belts, by stadium entrances, ship ports and many more similar locations of potential risk.

Technical Description
A typical Detection Unit consists of a NaI scintillation detector for gamma radiation detection; DSP (Digital Signal Processing) based electronics with source or LED stabilization; a multichannel pulse height analyzer; a K40 source in the form of KCl for calibration verification and at times, stabilization; a usage appropriate enclosure; mains, battery or PoE (Power over Ethernet) power; and a data and control communication method.
