Description
The AN/VDR-2 Radiac is suitable for both Tactical and non-Tactical protection
use. This simple to operate, rugged, and lightweight equipment combines unequaled
performance and reliability. It includes CANBERRA’s patented* "Time-to-Count"
technique providing outstanding linearity over the entire dynamic range of the
instrument – no compensation for high levels is necessary. Features such as
wide dynamic ranges for dose and dose rate and pre-settable alarms make this
instrument clearly the instrument of choice for the foot soldier.
The AN/VDR-2 Radiac is equally compatible with operation and use in all military
land vehicles and helicopters. Capable of operating on vehicular or aircraft
power, the AN/VDR-2 Radiac easily fits into the tightly crammed interiors of
aircraft and fighting vehicles (see circled AN/VDR-2 below). Detection probes
may be mounted outside the land vehicle or helicopter and can operate in conjunction
with the detector of the internally located AN/VDR-2 to provide complete radiation
assessments. Additionally, when used with an onboard computer, the RS-232 port
of the AN/VDR-2 enables real time data to be provided to the computer such that
dose rate mapping or iso-dose curves can be provided.
