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.

The installations are designed for continuous monitoring of the radiation situation at specified points of radiation objects with data transmission via VHF radio frequency channel and/or GSM/GPRS network. Purpose: radiation monitoring of industrial sites of nuclear power plants and other radiation facilities (RCP); radiation monitoring of the environment of sanitary protection zones and observation zones (RCOS); creation of an automated system for monitoring the radiation situation (ASKRO) of territories, sanitary protection zones (SPZ) and monitoring zones (ZN) of radiation-hazardous objects; creation of situational crisis centers (SCC) of enterprises and regions.
