New nuclear radiation detection tools from Princeton Gamma Tech
Instruments (OTCBB: PSGY) were included in a series of tests
performed by the Boeing Echo Ranger, autonomous underwater vehicle
(AUV) during recent testing in the Pacific Ocean, off Catalina
Island, California. The test campaign allowed spectroscopic
monitoring of the seabed. The cooperative effort included engineers
from both organizations combining best practices to perform
ultra-low level isotope discrimination that is naturally occurring
in the Pacific Ocean.
Applications for advanced nuclear radiation detection and
underwater isotope identification include uranium exploration,
underwater vessel interdiction and border security. PGT offers a
patented technology for background subtraction which allows levels
down to 100X below background to be identified, as well as isotope
category and isotope specific dose rates.
"As an AUV service provider, we gained important knowledge about
the near-term prospect of combining Boeing's high-level autonomous
behaviors with PGT's rapid on-board processing for a truly
autonomous undersea radiological search capability," said Jameson
Garrett, program development manager with Boeing Information
Solutions, part of Boeing Defense, Space & Security.
