Description:
CyTerra Corporation specializes in threat detection technologies for military and homeland security applications. L-3 CyTerra innovations provide today’s soldiers and security professionals with increased situational awareness to protect lives and critical infrastructure. Cyterra is also known for its Three-Dimensional Characterization and Archiving System. The Three-Dimensional Characterization and Archiving System (3D-ICAS) is a remote system that performs real-time in-situ analysis of hazardous organics and radionuclide contamination on structural materials. The 3D-ICAS system is composed of six main subsystems: I. Multisensor Probe (MSP): attached to the end of the robot arm, houses radionuclide sensors (RN), which detects and quantifies radiation levels; the sampling head for desorbing and collecting organic materials for quantitative analysis via high-speed gas chromatography with mass spectrometer (HSGCIMS); the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) Instrument for toxic metal and substrate identification; the molecular vibrational spectrometry (MVS) fiber optics for detecting and identifying inorganic materials, and proximity sensors for guiding the probe to a 1-mm standoff distance from the surface. 2. Integrated Workstation (IWOS): operated outside the contaminated area that the 3D-ICAS is examining and remotely controls the 3D-ICAS. 3. Contamination Analyzing Unit (CAU): extracts and analyzes the contaminated samples taken from the inspected area. 4. 3D Coherent Laser Radar (CLR): surveys the area to provide a spatial map of the facility and guides the robot arm with millimeter accuracy. 5. CRS Sensing Robot Arm Subsystem (SRAS): conveys the MSP to the desired position for making contaminant measurements. 6. Survey Archive Database (SADB): contains a complete record of spatial and contaminant data and provides capability to display contaminant data overlaid on a physical map of the surveyed facility with hyperlinks to detailed sensor measurement data. All subsystems are integrated onto a single vehicle, which is operated on electrical batteries.
