D3S The flagship product, D3S, is the world’s most advanced, portable, nuclear detection device used by counter-terrorist agencies to protect civilians, key infrastructure in cities including ports, borders and transport hubs Safeguarding cities from the threat of nuclear ‘dirty bombs’ Note: The above outcomes from successful Port of New Jersey trial Source: www.darpa.mil/news-events/2016-08-23
D3S Wearable Detectors • D3S PRD • Designed for first-line users • The most capable PRD/SPRD with 2 modes of operations: • Search Mode: displays gamma dose and neutron count • Search and Identification Mode: displays gamma dose, neutron count, isotope identification and classification • D3S ID • The fastest, most powerful RIID for radiation specialist • Continuously scans the environment in search mode • Confirmation mode allows longer scan of potential radioactive threats • Reachback reporting capability enables efficient adjudication • D3S NET • Networked radiation detection solution • All the power of the D3S detector now networked • The D3S NETs location, alert status and radiation reading are connected to the SIGMA Network and are all relayed back to a central command • The central command screen is remotely accessible through a secure web server using an internet connection 5
D3S PRD • A cost-effective way to provide advanced radiological protection to your citizens, location and personnel • PRD mode provides simpler user interface • Confirmation Mode and Reachback Report disabled • Continuous scan within Search Mode • Isotope ID within Search Mode only • Isotope ID can be disabled completely from within app settings • The same hardware can be transformed into D3S ID with full RIID capability by simply upgrading the smartphone app High gamma alert (isotope ID disabled) Search mode only PRD mode indicator
D3S ID / D3S PRD vs D3M D3S ID / D3S PRD • Light, discreet, wearable PRD with gamma and neutron detectors • Simple, intuitive user interface on Android phone • Real-time, continuous background scanning • Audio and vibration alarm on Android phone • D3S PRD is field upgradeable to D3S ID (RIID Mode) D3M • In-field instrument with gamma and neutron detectors • User-friendly on-device screen with displayed dose rate and accumulated dose • Real-time, continuous background scanning • Audio and vibration alarm on device • Functions standalone, or as a RIID and part of a network when paired with a phone
D3S ID / D3S PRD vs D3M • 132mm x 80mm x 23.5mm dimensions • 0.52 lbs (237 g) weight • IP53 ingress protection (ANSI N42.32 section 7.4) • 12 hour battery life • Audio and vibration alarm on Android phone • Established SIGMA platform and familiarity • 122mm x 80mm x 23mm dimensions • 0.50 lbs (261 g) weight • IP65 ingress protection (ANSI N42.32 section 7.4) • 24 hour battery life • Audio and vibration alarm on device 8
D3M Key Features • Gamma-ray detector • CsI(Tl) • 7% resolution at 662KeV energy range • 5 cps/μR/h (500 cps/μSv/h) at 662KeV • 30 keV to 3 MeV • 10 µR/h (0.1 µSv/h) to 100 R/h (1 Sv/h) dose rate range • Neutron detector • Non-ᶟHe • 9 cps in a 1 neutron per cm² field • Gamma rejection better than 10-7 (ANSI N42.34 section 6.7) • −20°C to 50°C operational temperature range • 24 hour battery life • USB or induction charging
A discreet wearable RIID that’s A fraction of the size A fraction of the weight A fraction of the price 11
Three-second rolling average to detect and identify sources of radiation • User adjustable time for confirmation mode • Rapid, visible, audible and tactile alert/ alarm • Classifies and categorises into Industrial, Medical, NORM, SNM, helping the user to take appropriate action • Low false alarm rate • Includes Wide Area Search and Confirmation Mode functions • DARPA tested and approved (DARPA-SIGMA Program) Lightweight design Heavyweight performance
Applications: First Responders Sea Ports and Borders Airports Event Security Environmental Monitoring
The power to make the right decisions about nuclear threats in seconds • The detection algorithm provides substantial enhancements in the detection and identification of low activity shielded threats, masked threats and nuisance isotopes • Extensively tested and characterised in multiple DNDO and DARPA programs
Gamma-ray detector • CsI(Tl) • 7% resolution at 662KeV Gamma energy range • 10,000 cps maximum Gamma throughput • 30 keV to 3 MeV • 20 µSv/h (2.0 mR/h) at 662 keV dose rate • 1 Sv/h (100 R/h) at 662 keV with high dose module • Neutron detector • Non-ᶟHe • 9 cps in a 1 neutron per cm² field • Easy single button operation with LED indicator • Instant reachback • 12 hour battery life (24 h with add-on battery pack) • USB or induction charging
Isotope library far exceeds ANSI and international standards • 42 radionuclides – 22 more than ANSI N42.34 standard • 69 unique signatures which accounts for shielding and mixed configurations • Discriminates between Medical, NORM, Industrial and SNM classes Notes: *Mandatory radionuclides as defined in ANSI N42.34 **Beta+ emitting radionuclide ***Beta- emitting radionuclide ****Neutron emitting radionuclide
Why Neutron Detector? • Many radioactive materials emit gamma radiation • Low energy gamma rays may be easy to shield and hard to detect • Materials such as nuclear fuels and weapons grade material are low gamma ray emitters, but emit neutrons • Neutrons are harder to shield • The neutron detector increases the chance of detecting radioactive materials with lower energy gamma ray
Search Mode Mode • Continuous gamma dose rate and neutron count monitoring • Isotope identification in 3 seconds, updated every second • Mobile phone annunciates and vibrates • Status and notifications (visual and audio) • Alarm data automatically saved and displayed in Alarm History Alarm history Isotope identified Gamma dose rate Neutron counts Time graph D3S status (temp, battery % etc) Isotope annunciation
Confirmation Mode Mode • Isotope ID within 30 seconds – 4 times faster than ANSI N42.34 • Scan time of up to 5 mins, updated every 30 secs • Gamma dose rate and neutron count updated every second from start of scan • Optimum distance indicator to assist user in detector placement • Reachback capability for efficient adjudication Isotope identified Start scan Optimum distance indicator Reachback capability Isotope annunciation
Reachback Report Mode • Facilitates sharing of acquired data, including background • Up to 5 event photos per report • Reachback via email, shared drive, etc • Acquired data saved in N42 file format Expandable menu Event photos Instant reachback
Accessories • A pouch will be supplied with every D3S • The pouch protects the D3S and provide an easy and portable way of carrying the device • The pouch can be worn on a belt or a MOLLE vest
