Detection of gamma and neutron radiation sources in the flow of pedestrians crossing the border of the controlled object. Rapid adaptation to changes in the radiation background Audible and light alarms The possibility to create a network of MCI (up to 32) under the control of a PC and specialized software High reliability and self-control Backup power supply At the request of the user, the MCI can be supplied without a neutron channel.

The fast-deployable radiation monitoring system (BR ASKRO) is intended for the operational creation of a local autonomous automated network of portable radiation monitoring posts in places where radiation emergencies occur. The main purpose of the system being created is continuous radiation monitoring, on areas up to 1 km2, when performing work to localize accidents and eliminate their consequences to ensure the safe operation of personnel of emergency rescue units, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of the work performed.
