The Guardian MD210 is a mobile radiation monitor in a customized van that scans vehicles or containers for radioactive materials, without the need for frequent calibration. Designed for operational flexibility, the Guardian MD210 can be quickly and easily deployed for use in stationary mode at a temporary checkpoint or in drive-by mode, scanning as the system passes by the target or through a specified geographic region.
