sold into four market segments, including Baggage and<br />

Parcel Inspection, Cargo and Vehicle Inspection, Hold<br />

has a solution for the most demanding threat detection<br />

situations its customers could face. An important<br />

part of Rapiscan’s product portfolio is its radiation<br />

detection product line, which addresses the need for<br />

global governments and organizations to monitor and<br />

locate radioactive threat materials that can be used in<br />

atomic weapons and dirty bombs. <strong>The</strong> product line is<br />

comprised of software and hardware based solutions<br />

detection products can be used in a standalone deployment<br />

performance, easy to use radiation monitor combining<br />

gamma and optional neutron detection is housed in<br />

a lightweight, compact commercial backpack, making<br />

the system perfect for covert inspection situations. <strong>The</strong><br />

MP100 is ideal for supporting security operations and<br />

performing radiation surveys in a variety of markets –<br />

including critical infrastructure, customs and border<br />
