  • Slide 2
  • 2 If this had been a Dirty Bomb GammaPix could have detected it before it was planted.
  • Slide 3
  • 3 Gamma ray detection with COTS devices Smartphones/NetWarr ior TabletsWeb Cams Surveillance Cameras Gamma ray measurements are made using GammaPix software on common network-connected devices
  • Slide 4
  • 4 Image sensors of common devices can detect gamma rays*. Gamma rays hit the sensor and light up pixels GammaPix ionizing radiation detection 10 sec exposure with iPhone 4 * GammaPix can detect gamma and X-rays, beta particles, and some neutrons.

  • 5 5 sec video of 10 Ci Cs-137 source with iPhone 4
  • Slide 6
  • Accidents or Theft Safety of nuclear plants Transportation of radioactive material Accidental exposure to sources Recovery of orphaned sources Recovery of stolen sources Radioactivity Terrorism Dirty Bombs: interdiction and response Radioactivity Exposure Devices (RED): interdiction and response Nuclear Detonation: response 6 Need for Radioactivity Detection
  • Slide 7
  • 7 Cost-Effective System for Detection, Collection, Response, and Training Automatic radioactivity detection with mobile devices and surveillance cameras Automatic data recording and transmission Command center collection, mapping, and analysis of data Command center control of devices Training with simulated sources using mobile devices
  • Slide 8
  • 8 -Autonomous monitoring -Secure network comms -Centralized data fusion -Standalone or integrated: + GammaPix Command +TIGR/GeoSuite +Cursor On Target +others coming, JWARN, CPOF, DCGS -Monitor dose/dose-rate -Tactical command (C2) over deployed software: +TACON at BDOC, etc. +OPCON SA at higher levels
  • Slide 9
  • Uses any available network GammaPix equipped mobile devices can communicate organically over any available network: SRW, WiFi, cell, etc., or can connect via auxiliary device, e.g. UAP, ToughBook, etc. Each device measures ionizing radiation dose-rate and integrates to measure total dose. 9 Webcam C4ISR Server Laptop Mobile devices with GammaPix

  • 10 Could be Detected Here Detection Distance Can be detected by GammaPix equipped cameras from 100 meters away Category 2 Source Here National Lab tested DHS SAEFTY Act DTE Designated
  • Slide 11
  • 11 Command Center software with worldwide smartphone + security camera data 150,000+ radiation readings/month
  • Slide 12
  • 12 Growing public user community provides radiological SA near bases

  • Image Insight, Inc. 13 GammaPix Applications Preventio n Training Respons e
  • Slide 14
  • 14 Prevention: Using GammaPix software on existing infrastructure Control room 80% of hospitals have rad sources
  • Slide 15
  • 15 Prevention and Response: Facility Security/Force Protection
  • Slide 16
  • Response: Nuclear Detonation Yield Estimation 16 GammaPix support for the assessment of a nuclear detonation Measure radiation (distance and location) Measure barometric over-pressure as blast wave passes (e.g., 1 PSI @ x km) Measure the acceleration the device experiences as the blast wave passes Measure other optical properties These measurements, at various radii from blast, will provide several independent constraints on yield. May support early phase of determination of attribution. Dose map will support medical assessments. Real time readings will inform evacuate/shelter analysis and disaster recovery response. www.fas.org/programs/ssp/nukes/nuclear_weapon_effects/nuclearwpneffctcalc.html
  • Slide 17
  • 17 Training for radiation emergencies with no radioactivity Control room Fixed cameras inject simulated radiation readings into scenario. Personnel carry mobile devices as they go about their normal day, and devices automatically measure the simulated radiation field at current location. Sim data displayed @ HQ Deployed devices get C2 orders from HQ to Start readings & change Interval of collection.
  • Slide 18
  • Imagine many cameras and smartphones in a city running GammaPix, each with roughly a 30 to 100 m effective search radius against a Category 2 source. Each making ~30 sec readings every 30 mins. What can we learn?
