FIRST MILITARY HANDHELD GAMMA-RAY LOCATOR IN THE WORLD developed in collaboration between Arctur
and AISense. Indispensable tool for battlefield area examination, checkpoints and terrorist threat prevention.
Rugged and lightweight for handheld use or mounted on military vehicles (e.g. drones).
CASE STUDY – CHECKPOINT
When the unit is mounted on a permanent stand at road side (e.g. at a military checkpoint), it is configured in the remote mode and keeps streaming data to an operator in the vicinity. The unit will trigger an audible, visual and/or haptic alert when a gamma-ray anomaly (increased dose rate or spatial asymmetry) is detected and will activate the directional indicator, pointing towards the source. The operator can proceed to take the unit from its stand and use it as a handheld to approach the indicated person or vehicle and determine the exact micro-location of the radiation source.
CASE STUDY – ON MILITARY VEHICLE
The unit can be mounted on a military vehicle (transporter, tank, vessel, drone…), oriented facing forward. The crew is provided with a screen streaming full real-time data from the unit. As soon as elevated radioactivity levels or another anomaly (such as asymmetry) of the gamma-ray field is detected, the remote display starts indicating real-time direction, relative to vehicle, towards the radioactive source.
CASE STUDY – MULTIPLE DEVICES IN URBAN WARFARE
In the case of combat in complex terrain, multiple coordinated devices can be used to determine the location of the radioactive source directly from fixed positions. The position and direction information from two (or more) devices are used to do positive triangulation.
CONNECTIVITY
Although it is primarily designed to be used as a handheld device, it can be connected (by wire or via switchable Bluetooth) to a smart device, a personal computer (Windows or Linux, Mac OS on demand) or any other digital system capable of serial communication, for complete remote monitoring and control. A dedicated application for a smart device is available and can optionally bridge all communication over the internet for further remote examination or analysis.
