SpiR-ID

Handheld Detection and Identication

The SpiR-ID is a rugged handheld device designed to

efciently search for radioactive materials and “on the

y” threat discrimination, such as illicit trafcking and

Radiological Dispersal Devices (RDDs).

It quickly and reliably identies and categorizes radio-

nuclides even for demanding scenarios including

heavily shielded or masked threat thanks to a large

volume detector associated with the Identpro/SIA

algorithm specically designed for Homeland Security

purpose.

Detection and Identication performance exceeds all

ANSI N42-34 requirements.

FEATURES

● Real-time continuous identication due to

large detector and unique algorithm

● Homeland Security and Nuclear accident libraries

● Reliable ID of shielded/mixed /masked complex

scenarios

● Overpasses of a factor of 10 the ANSI N42-34 (2006)

ID time or level requirements

● Fully automated self stabilization

● Continuous operation under severe environmental

conditions such as extreme temperature shocks

● Rugged aluminum case

● Easy user interface, instant ID pop-up, sound or voice

messaging

● GPS integrated, mapping companion software included

● External contamination probe

Rugged construction and simple routine user mode

are suited for eld use in harsh environments.

The SpiR-ID can be used for mobile surveys or for

portal alarm assessment.

It is ideally suited for all applications that require

efcient detection, search and identication of

radiological threats, including military, civil defense,

border & customs.
