Radiological Detection System
Abstract
The Radiological Detection System (RDS) is a survey meter, its associated probes for detecting the various types of radiation, and ancillary equipment. This type of survey meter system has many applications and is the single most prevalent RADIAC instrument in the Navy inventory, utilized for every Navy end use but predominantly in the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program (NNPP) and Radiological Defense (RD) end uses. The Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBND) is currently developing an RDS for use by all the Services. If all the components could agree on a single system, it would lower the procurement cost for all the Services, and even more importantly enable Joint interoperability in the warfighter Radiological Defense arena that is currently lacking. However, the NNPP end use is unique amongst the Services, and while the Radiological Defense RDS solution should prove to be sufficient for all the Services, Navy must ensure the performance and specifications of a Joint solution would be sufficient for Naval Reactors and the NNPP application.
