Mission Critical. A revolution in First response, The LAFD WMD / Terrorism Response special report. (Windows Media Video, approx. 9 mins)The RAID-M-100 (based on the RAID-M) is designed to be operated whilst being held one handed. The RAID-M-100 is equipped with a 63 Ni source but with an activity below the European exemption limit for this isotope. It is used to monitor the contamination of personnel or equipment in the field and within collective protection facilities. The RAID-M-100 is able to detect, classify, and quantify chemical agents. Detected substances are displayed by class or by specific agent, together with the measured concentration range. G and H agents can be detected simultaneously. Hazard levels are indicated by an incremental display with five or eight increments.
