The D5 RIID provides a unique high performance and versatile radiation detection device in a wearable package for military, homeland security, and industrial personnel.
The D5 RIID is a small, light, less than 4% resolution, wearable Radioisotope Identification Device (RIID) with an expansive radioisotope library and an ultra low false alarm rate. It continuously scans and accurately identifies radiological threats in real time, even in mixed source environments.
The D5 RIID combines small form factor with powerful radiometric performance and enhanced sensitivity at a medium resolution. The D5 RIID has an area efficiency which is 62% higher when compared with conventional RIIDs.
The high sensitivity of the device means that any source, even very low activity sources, can be accurately detected.
An extensive built-in calibrated isotope library enables the D5 RIID to detect and identify mixed, shielded or heavily masked isotope configurations and confirm radionuclide identification across naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM), industrial, medical, and special nuclear materials.
D5 RIID meets both ANSI N42.34 and the more demanding US Department of Homeland Security Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) technical capability standards.
The D5 RIID is only 660g, compared with legacy instruments often weighing more than 2kg. Measuring 187mm x 80mm x 70mm (7.4″ x 3.1″ x 2.8″), the D5 RIID is light and unobtrusive enough to be both belt and body worn. It is also ideal for prolonged one-handed operation and is easily usable by someone wearing full PPE.
While constantly scanning for threats and maintaining a high level of sensitivity, a low false alarm rate is essential. With a false alarm rate of just one in 24 hours, the D5 RIID consistently delivers accurate reliable information.
The D5 RIID can interface with or be integrated into existing systems, including smartphones, to enable reachback capability. Spectral results with enhanced resolution obtained in the field can be transmitted immediately to an offsite laboratory for secondary analysis. The D5 RIID can also link to a network of hubs and sensors to give a real time overview of a radiological threat.
Now ATAK compliant, the D5 RIID further expands widespread, real-time situational awareness. The device can be integrated into the CBRN Plugin, enabling extensive data sharing and better-coordinated action on the battlefield.
Spectral analysis and ID recorded by the D5 RIID can now be distributed to remote decision makers without using a network. Foreground and background data can be shared via a QR code, which when scanned opens up the analytical data in the free app InterSpec, created by Sandia National Laboratories.
Localisation mode allows a user to pinpoint the location of a radioactive source. The background radiation is first measured to establish the thresholds in multiples of sigma, which in turn determines the beep frequency. The closer the user is to a radioactive source, the closer together the audible ‘beeps’ are. The thresholds can be adjusted the closer the user gets to the source to account for higher background levels, ensuring more precise searches.
By simply enabling Kromek’s NORM suppression algorithm in the device settings, the differentiation between normal background sources and true sources is significantly enhanced, further improving the accuracy of your data.
Further tailor the D5 RIID to the needs of your mission with the option for PIN-protected settings. Select which users have access to certain settings.
A total of three thresholds can now be set up on the D5 RIID based on your detection needs e.g., different thresholds for ‘low’, ‘medium’ and ‘high’ radiation levels.
With a simple accumulated dose reset button now on the device, you can quickly reset this metric on the go without having to head back to a central location.
Different background files are saved as ANSI N42.42 files on the device. Therefore, the appropriate background can be selected on a mission to accompany all new confirmation mode scans taken.
Alongside Kromek’s rigorous testing and collaboration of the D5 RIID, the device has now been tested in accordance with the relevant DEF-STAN and MIL-STD tests.
The spectral data which accompanies every collected confirmation mode scan has been enhanced to give more information. The “scale” button can be used to move through the spectrum to see all energies. The up and down buttons on the D5 RIID controls can be used to navigate the cursor to give the exact counts per second data at a chosen energy.
Resolution refers to the width of a single energy peak at a specific energy on a spectral data plot. The higher the resolution, the more distinct and clearly separated the energy peaks.
Kromek have developed the Remote Mode application for the D5 RIID to ensure operator safety via remote detection. Mounted onto any UGV, the D5 RIID collects essential spectral isotopic data from a distance.
Simply connect our new Alpha Beta Probe to the D5 RIID and extend the D5 RIID’s field-proven Gamma and Neutron detection capability to Alpha and Beta.
