V-RAM

VEHICLE RADIATION ALARM MONITORING
 

The v-RAM product is a car mounted mobile system for the detection and location of radiation sources. The ACG Security Systems Vehicle Radiation Alarm Monitoring (v-RAM) system for Police and First Response vehicles represents the next generation of vehicular borne monitoring systems.

Recent events have increased the need for locating radiation sources in a wide variety of locations and situations, particularly those that might be used for acts of terrorism.

The v-RAM system is based on the ACG Security v-RAID technology, technology that has been certified, tested and verifiable to exceed current specification needs listed by the Government and others agencies and with a device efficiency rating double what is currently available.

The radiation spectrum data from the v-RAM detectors is collected and stored in one-second intervals eliminating the possibility of ‘dead time’ between spectra due to the list-mode capability in the v-RAID Digibase.

Detection is capable at a distance of 30 metres (100’) with the vehicle in motion at a speed of 50 kmh  (30 mph).  Data is processed at a rate of 40GB / second resulting in an output of 3-D radiation “noise” images.

The images, produced at a rate of  53 per 1/10 second, are then compared with the v-RAID Digibase for potential alarm situations. To help with identification of the radioactive materials, the total spectrum is recorded rather than solely utilizing the total count rate as done in previous generation systems.

v-RAM alarm conditions are continually monitored and plotted to a central command and control screen in a variety of user-friendly maps and spectral displays including time-stamped data events .

Global Positioning System (GPS) is used to determine the position of the vehicle as spectrum and count are collected.
