MD134
VEHICLE-MOUNTED DETECTION SYSTEM
The MD134 mobile radiation detection system, mounted on customer-specified chassis, automatically scans vehicle and cargo containers for the presence of radioactive sources. Designed for operational flexibility, the MD134 can be quickly and easily deployed for use in stationary mode as a temporary checkpoint or in drive-by mode, scanning as it passes the target or through a specified geographic region.
