Vehicle‑Based Mobile Detection System

A vehicle‑integrated mobile detection system that combines portal‑grade detectors with on‑board command, GPS‑mapped logging, video, and space for handhelds—so crews can scan fixed or moving objects and respond immediately to alarms during patrols. Configurations are customisable to the mission and platform.

Why teams choose this Mobile Detection System (MDS)

• On‑the‑move screening: scan traffic lanes or roadside objects with a control zone up to ~3 m × 2.5 m at speeds up to ~8 km/h (typical family data).
• Integrated response: cockpit control panel, alarm module, software, and optional video provide a complete patrol workflow.
• End‑to‑end kit: often delivered with PRDs (PM1703 series) and handheld RIIDs (PM1401K‑3) for localisation and ID.

How it works

Vehicle‑mounted plastic scintillators create a rolling inspection zone; alarms are shown in the operator compartment. The system logs GPS‑referenced events, supports reachback, and can power from vehicle mains with ≥ 8 h backup.

Representative specifications

• Energy range: ≈ 20–30 keV to 3 MeV (gamma)
• Ingress protection: up to IP65; –30 °C to +50 °C
• Power: vehicle mains / built‑in battery, ≥ 8 h backup
• Comms: Ethernet/Wi‑Fi, GPS; optional video surveillance.

Typical applications

Mobile border patrol, citywide sweeps, event perimeters, ports, rail approaches and rapid response to orphan‑source alerts.
