DViN-1 - Detectors of Explosives & Drugs

In the present day high security environment , there is a need to strengthen protection against terrorist threats that include explosive, chemical, radiological and nuclear attacks. The most effective prevention against such attacks is detection and identification of the threat before it activates. The DViN-1 proprietary next-generation Neutron detection technology makes our systems among the most advanced detection tools available today. Our systems are the only true chemical-specific, automated technology available in the marketplace which can not only detect the presence of, but also identify by elemental composition a wide range of materials, whether shielded or masked including, explosives, special nuclear materials, chemical agents and drugs.

Benefits of DViN-1
Identify over 30 types of explosives and drugs Automated detection within minutes Portable & Remote Device Improve Response Times Reduce False Alarm Rates Reduce Costly Delays Low Maintenance & Service requirements

The DViN-1 is ideally suited for:

DViN-1 Portable Detector


Our DViN-1 is a man-portable detector designed primarily for the remote detection and identification of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). The system uniquely addresses the significant problems posed by unattended or suspicious packages or bags as well as a wide range of other threat scenarios including the remote interrogation of targeted suspect areas of vehicles, cargo or luggage. The DViN-1 was developed as a result of marketplace demands for a more flexible and automated detection system with improved functionality. Due to its small footprint and vertical stacked design, it can be transported through narrow pathways and doorways, and navigate the tight spaces of passenger and baggage areas in multiple environments (planes, trains, buses, stadium and other venues). This makes it particularly attractive to transit operators which have to contend with unattended baggage left in overhead areas and do not wish to move or manipulate a suspect package or bag. DViN-1 detects the presence of threat materials including explosives, radionuclide, certain chemicals and other illicit substances, with a probability of detection of about 95% and false positive and false negative rates of about 2%, in as little as 60 seconds. The DViN-1 is ideally suited for: Private & Public transportation Airports and customs Bomb squads Military applications Private event security (sports venues, concerts) Government and high security

DViN-1 Cargo Detector


Our DViN-1 detector is designed to increase the security at seaports by non-intrusive detection of explosives or narcotics within shipping containers. Shipping is a key international industry, 95% of the world cargo is moved by ship corresponding to over 200 million containers per year exchanged between major seaports. Today, inspections of containers are largely based on X-or Gamma Ray systems but they provide limited information about container objects such as shape and density. With the DViN-1 detector controllers are able to detect the chemical composition of suspect items in order to detect illicit materials such as explosives and drugs. Benefits of DViN-1 Identify over 30 types of explosives and drugs Automated detection within minutes Improve Response Times Reduce False Alarm Rates Reduce Costly Delays The DVIN-1 is ideally suited for: Seaports Transportation Inspections Military applications Government and high security

DViN-1 Car Bomb Detector


The DViN-1 Car Bomb Detector was developed in response to the critical need for improved protection from car bombs. The DViN-1 Car Bomb Detector offers a mobile solution that can be deployed to interrogate vehicles that have been flagged for inspection. The DviN-1 is configured to detect VBIEDs, where explosives or car bombs are concealed in the closed trunk, undercarriage, or other compartment of a static or parked vehicle, as well as IEDs such as roadside bombs. The systems sensors are deployed from the vehicle at the end of a mechanical arm and placed in close proximity to the targeted area. The DViN-1 Car Bomb Detector is capable of remote operation either from a console in the command and control van or wirelessly from a distance. It is designed for mobile deployment at vehicle checkpoints as well as road-side screening of suspicious vehicles. of about 2%, in as little as 60 seconds.

Radiation Safety FAQs


MAY THE PEOPLE GET EXPOSED TO RADIATION? No, fast neutron radiation can be hazardous for humans. To avoid harmful effects, a detector operator must remain outside of the hazardous area. Hazardous area dimensions depend on neutron producer intensity. At peak intensity I = 5107 c-1, the hazardous area radius R = 7.8 m, while at I = 1107 c-1, the hazardous area radius R = 3.5 m. HOW HIGH IS THE RADIATION EXPOSURE DOSE OUTSIDE OF THE HAZARDOUS AREA? If this person gets in such situation (walking outside of the hazardous area during scanning in progress) not more than 25 times a year (2 times a month), annual dose shall not exceed 10 Sv a year* which corresponds to small radiation hazard and can be disregarded *General population annual radiation exposure dose limit is 1000 Sv. - An excerpt from the Sanitary-Epidemiological Conclusion of After fast neutron irradiation by complex DVIN-1 for a standard composition of examination object, comprised of foodstuff, domestic chemical products, radio electronic devices, tools and household articles, the ambient equivalent dose rate of photon radiation on the surface does not exceed background values. During operation of the portable complex DVIN-1 based on tracer neutrons technology for detection of explosive materials applied in accordance with Operation Manual, induced activity in examination objects does not pose any radiological hazard.
- Measurements of ambient equivalent dose rate of photon radiation on the surfaces of examination objects following the use of portable complex DVIN-1.

DOES RADIACTIVITY GET INDUCED IN SCREENED OBJECTS, ENVIRONMENT, SCANNER ITSELF? There is no activation of object under control and environmental objects. Activation radiation dose rate from complex neutron generator structure immediately after its switching off (operation tune 10 minutes) does not exceed 0.4 Sv/h, and in 10 minutes after switching off does not exceed background values. - An excerpt from the Sanitary-Epidemiological Conclusion of
