Major metropolitan first responders to receive the latest portable nuclear and radiological threat identifiers for domestic target security
identiFINDER R425 from Teledyne FLIR Defense
Teledyne FLIR Defense has been equipping the nation’s disaster preparedness community with state-of-the-art detection technology as part of the Securing the Cities’ Mobile Detection Deployment Program (MDDP) since its beginning. The program was originally established in the wake of 9/11 to reduce the risk of successful deployment of radiological or nuclear weapons against large urban centers in
As a widely deployed radionuclide identification device (RID) with over 25,000 units in the field, the identiFINDER R425 offers 360-degree coverage to locate and measure gamma and neutron radioactive sources from a compact, handheld interface. The R425 allows operators to remotely take command and communicate results in any nuclear threat scenario or environment, including those with extremely high gamma fields, without endangering the operators.
“Since 2007, Teledyne FLIR Defense has been proud to support the Securing the Cities mission by strengthening radiation preparedness across the country,” said Clint Wichert, Vice President of Detection for Teledyne FLIR Defense. “As longtime partners with the CWMD, we’ve seen the difference these devices make in protecting against radioactive device deployment, material transport, and illegal possession and storage of hazardous material. While the impact of preparedness is often measured by incidents that never occur, we are proud to help equip first responders with the tools and training they need to keep communities safe.”
This order of identiFINDER R425 units builds on the existing inventory distributed by the program for first responder use since 2021. The first wave of new detectors will be rolled out to 10 major metropolitan areas throughout
