Stride™
Radionuclide Detection Systems
Stride Integration Methodologies
With several detection unit and communication options, the Stride series of radionuclide detection units can be easily integrated into a variety of different security scenarios. In any deployment scenario, Stride radiation detection units can be emplaced completely covertly and do not require any significant changes to the transit path of persons using or traveling through the facility. When multiple Stride radiation detection units are utilized, data can be summed which results in enhanced sensitivity; effectively lowering detection limits to extremely small amounts of radioactive material. Such emplacements only require one neutron capable detection unit, providing a level of cost effectiveness which matches the security risk.
One basic method of integrating Stride systems into a facility is to place several Stride Series 200 basic radiation detection units into the door frames of an existing building entrance. In this scenario, persons utilizing the facility would never notice a change or realize the heightened level of security on the premises. With a combination of Stride software, identification of a detected radioactive source could happen within seconds while security personnel are being notified of the alarm on their PDAs and in a command center.
Other methods include replacing some standard crowd control stanchions within an already declared security lane with stanchion detection units. By outward appearance, the detection units look identical to every other stanchion. Again, this allows security professionals to covertly increase the level of security at a facility without broadcasting detection capabilities to potential terrorists.
