Radiological Detection System Training Device

Abstract

The Radiological Detection System (RDS) is a survey meter with ancillary probes that is being procured by all the Services and some North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies to replace the legacy equipment in all the respective procuring activities, and to allow joint interoperability. The Training Device will be an instrument designed to simulate the detection and measurement of alpha, beta, gamma, neutron and low energy X-rays for trainees on the RDS equipment without having to use actual radioactive sources. This makes the training safer and more cost effective to manage by avoiding the significant legal and safety issues involved when using radioactive sources.
