The Security Mobile Mapping Systems family provides integrated, deployable platforms for real-time radiological monitoring, mapping and situational awareness in security-critical environments. Designed for mobile, airborne and fixed deployments, these systems combine spectrometric detectors, georeferenced acquisition, onboard processing and cloud-based data fusion to support rapid decision-making during emergency response, border control, infrastructure protection and environmental monitoring operations.

At the core of the architecture is a distributed measurement network connected through the GAMON platform, which aggregates and analyzes data from multiple mobile units in real time. Embedded processing enables automatic radionuclide identification, dose-rate evaluation and configurable alarm logic directly on the field units, while centralized cloud visualization and control allow operators to coordinate large-scale monitoring campaigns and respond efficiently to complex radiological scenarios.

  • Integrated mobile, drone and fixed mapping systems for real-time radiological and neutron monitoring

  • Automatic isotope identification, dose-rate measurement and programmable alarm logic with georeferenced data

  • Centralized cloud platform for multi-system data fusion, visualization and remote configuration

GAMON Platform Benefits

The GAMON Platform can be tailored to specific customer needs, offering critical advantages and capabilities such as rapid deployment, multi-station network development and increased personnel safety and security, in compliance with international standards. These benefits are achieved by having easy, fast, secure, and reliable access to all real time measurements. Its intuitive graphical interface allows the user to fully monitor and control the detector system, guaranteeing rapid and well-founded decision making for a prompt response to emergencies.

Stress Test Results

All the GAMON measuring systems are enclosed in a rugged case tailored for their use case scenario. The rugged case IP level range from IP66 to IP68 and it is designed for outdoor operation in extreme weather condition. Each GAMON system has been extensively tested in environmental chamber.

Automatic statistic analysis tool

The Automatic Statistic Analysis Tool allows the user to perform customized searches of reports stored in the internal database by selecting the start and the end date, status and type.
It shows the trend of:

  • H*(10) dose for each identified isotope

  • Average scintillator count rate (ICR)

  • Average GM dose rate

  • Rain (optional)

Automatic calibration tool
Fast and easy Energy and FWHM calibrations may be performed via the web interface. Simply put a source near the probe and launch the calibration tool, which automatically recognizes the peaks in the spectrum and makes the calculation for the new energy and FWHM calibration curves.
Customizable isotope library
Compliant with environmental monitoring standards, three thresholds (warning, alarm, critical) can be set for each isotope. H*(10) dose for each identified isotope present in the library is automatically calculated in the report. Isotopes can be completely customized to the user’s needs.

Web interfaced based software integrated in the gamon system

Each GAMON system includes an internal CPU running a web server application called GAMON Control Software eliminating the need for a central data server. Radiological information is stored in an internal database as well as in the non-volatile memory, allowing autonomous data taking even in the event of connectivity loss. Spectra, acquisition reports, and data history can be displayed and downloaded through a common web browser. Access credentials (such as user, technician, administrator) can be defined, and the degree of access of these user levels can be customized.
Spectral analysis and statistical data treatment are performed according to ISO-11929. These identification routines rely on an extended isotope library which identifies the selected radionuclides in the stabilized spectrum.

  • No central data server required

  • User-friendly web interface with access to data reports and historical data

  • Automatic and real time diagnostics

  • Isotope-based alarms fully configurable

  • Prompt alarms signalling based on spectrum acquisition and Geiger-Muller counting

  • Secured data and system configuration with password-controlled access and customizable levels of privileges

  • Full control of data acquisition and calibration ensuring system optimization

GAMON-Drone

Compact Radionuclides Identification Mobile Unit
GAMON-Drone is a compact and independent system designed for radiological threat search. Weight and dimensions allow an easy installation on an UAV to conduct measurements over large areas to improve the operator safety or for access difficulties.

The GAMON-Drone measurement system integrates one spectrometer and one optional H*(10) dosimeter for gamma detection. The system is integrated in a rugged housing for outdoor environments with protection class IP65. It communicates wireless directly to the ground control station where a GIS map visualizes trajectory and measurements without affecting the UGV connections and performances.

Gamon-Mobile

Vehicle Mountable Gamma Spectrometric Mapping System
GAMON-Mobile is a modular and vehicle mountable spectroscopy system with radionuclide identification and mapping features. GAMON-Mobile system is supplied in a rugged and IP66 container designed to resist to external stresses (e.g. shocks and vibrations) and easy to mount and fix on the vehicle chosen for the inspection (boat, helicopter or car).

It is designed to make radiometric measurement and identification of gamma emitters on wide areas providing a map of the radioactivity detected. The real time identification algorithm can recognize artificial gamma emitters beyond the natural background and mark the hot spot over the trajectory traveled by the moving vehicle. This feature allows the user to make a map of the radioactivity of the scanned area.

Gamon-Diver

Compact Underwater System for Radionuclides Identification
GAMON-Diver is a gamma spectrometer for the measurement of gamma emitting isotopes in case of accident mitigation, first emergency response or for the long term monitoring of nuclear facilities and Oil&Gas infrastructures GAMON-Diver runs y spectrum analysis algorithms that can perform simultaneous identification of multiple radiological sources and provides quantitative measurements in terms of dose and activity per radionuclide with its built-in detector efficiency calibration. Highlights:

  • Housing for 450 m depth or 45 atm;

  • Connector and cable for marine environment;

  • GPS for on board/surface control computer;

  • Battery for 8 h operation
