Re: Interesting Capabilities, etc.

  We use quite a number of those interesting capabilities.  Nearly all are 
  commercially available. Mobile rad detection with GPS capabilities has 
  been demonstrated using the USRADS (UltraSonnic Ranging and Data System) 
  system, and designed using the STOLS 
  (Surface Towed Ordnance Locating System) system with NaI detectors 
  substituted for the Magnetometers. LANL has a LRAD (Long Range Alpha 
  Detection) methodology designed but I'm not sure if it is commercially 
  available.
 
  I do not endorse any products or manufactuters but want to make the 
  technology known. I may be able to dig up some POCs if you need them 
  contact me.
