Arktis MODES Kit- Mobile Rad/ Nuc Detection System

Description
Specifications

The MODES Kit enables the conversion of ordinary vehicles into mobile radiation detection systems within minutes. The system can be used to perform radiation mapping, search for lost or stolen radioac­tive sources, and monitor traffic for radio­logical threats. The system can equally be dismounted from the vehicle to serve as a standalone radiation monitor. The system is complemented by a fully interoperable, drone-based detector for mapping, search, and closer inspection. The Arktis MODES kit is designed to detect and identify radio­logical threats. The system can work either deployed in vehicles or as stand-alone static monitor.

  • The internal CPU manages real time ambient spectrum acquisition, computes ambient dose rates, and updates the system’s alarm parameters.
  • The acquired spectra are analyzed and compared against a library to identify radioisotopes and potential threats.
  • The browser-based user interface does not require a specific operating system or screen size.
  • The system can be deployed in a variety of measurement modes both static and dynamic.
  • The mapping mode enables automatic and direct measurement reporting on a dynamic and interactive map.

Arktis M800 neutron detector
Read-out electronics Integrated MCA (fast multichannel analyzer). Integrated signal processing unit
Detection sensitivity when deployed as single sided pedestrian RPM ANSI N42.38-2015 compliant ANSI N42.38-2015 compliant ANSI N42.35-2016 compliant ANSI N42.35-2016 compliant
This sensitivity is guaranteed for sources at 1m distance from detector’s face moving at 1.2 m/s.
Detection sensitivity when deployed in a vehicle Analogous sensitivity as above for sources at 1m distance passed at 1.2 m/s. The declared sensitivities do not account for attenuation by the vehicle’s structure. We recommend installing the detectors adjacent to windows to minimize shielding by the vehicle
Connectivity
