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.
