RadSeeker's enhanced capability distinguishes radiological and nuclear threats from naturally occurring radiation or other legitimate everyday radiological materials. It was specifically designed to meet DHS's mission requirements for a next-generation system capable of detecting and identifying varied nuclear threats.
Stephen Esposito, Interim President of SDI, said, "Under a competitively-awarded contract RadSeeker was developed in cooperation with the DHS to help keep our country safe from the threat of nuclear and radiological proliferation. It's another example of how we work with our customers to understand their needs and then leverage our experience as the world leader for threat detection technology to create solutions that meet the challenge."
