Textron [TXT] says its Adaptable Radiation Area Monitor (ARAM) has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology under the SAFETY Act. The ARAM is a spectroscopic monitoring system that can be deployed as a portal, RadTruck, RadBoat and RadPack (backpack) to provide different modes of radiation detection. The technology can detect and identify radioactive materials in real time while moving at speeds up to 50 miles per hour. “Receiving the SAFETY Act designation for our ARAM technology provides recognition that our system can perform as an effective, reliable and safe tool in the fight against terrorism,” says Tom McNamara, senior vice president of Textron Systems’ Advanced Solutions Center.
