Overview
The RDS-100P Radiation Detection System offers comprehensive radiation management and unsurpassed reliability in a self-contained, portable system. This rugged and lightweight equipment combines outstanding performance and reliability using unique Time-to-Count technique for linearity over the entire dynamic dose rate range. Compatible with existing AN/PDR-77 probes, it features beta-gamma, alpha, X-ray, and optional beta pancake probes for contamination surveys and frisking. Designed to meet Mil-STD-810 requirements, waterproof to 1m, and operable while wearing protective clothing. Applications include weapon surveillance, nuclear accident response, personnel monitoring, search, triage, and surveillance operations.
