Rapiscan Systems, a leading provider of security screening<br />

and affordability of its solutions. With products<br />
sold into four market segments, including Baggage and<br />
Parcel Inspection, Cargo and Vehicle Inspection, Hold<br />
Baggage Screening and People Screening, the company<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 />
for inspecting vehicles, packages and people. Radiation<br />
detection products can be used in a standalone deployment<br />
or integrated with Rapiscan’s X-ray and metalbased<br />
threat detection solutions. <strong>The</strong> newest addition to<br />
Rapiscan’s radiation detection product line is the Rapiscan<br />
MP100 Backpack Radiation Detection system. A high<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 />
control, event security, defense and law enforcement<br />
applications. All of the features required for radiation<br />
