Using a networked system, the IRSS can determine with high confidence the presence, location and type of radiological material in an area more quickly and accurately than a group of individual detectors.Īs displayed below (Figure 1.), the program must create a robust and flexible network architecture along with advanced data fusion algorithms that combine information from many detectors. A successful IRSS program could provide advanced search and monitoring capabilities across a large coverage area, and in difficult operational environments. The IRSS technology can be used for a variety of other applications, such as ubiquitous monitoring, urban search, and locating and tracking moving sources using non-directional detectors. The North Carolina Department of Public Safety is charged with protecting the state from a multitude of threats and hazards, to include natural and manmade impacts to our state critical infrastructure and terrorism events. Three vendors have developed Intelligent Radiation Sensing Systems. It especially highlights what these advances mean for program design and service delivery. Two systems use base station dependent approaches the other performs independent computation at each individual network node.
All three investigated an array of fusion algorithms, and have developed their own detection, location, and identification capabilities.
The Transformational and Applied Research (TAR) Directorate at DNDO expects to complete experiments to determine the performance capabilities of the IRSS systems by the end of April 2012.
