Emergency Response

Every moment in the wake of a disaster is crucial. Immediately following a catastrophic event, whether natural or man caused, the most valuable commodity during this critical time is information.
Think for a moment about the most potentially extreme of disasters, a terrorist attack involving nuclear materials whether fissionable or a “dirty” kinetic event. Collecting and making available information about the nature, intensity and location of the event can dramatically improve health maintenance and survival of people and protection of infrastructure within the impact zone.
Complicated electronics, such as modern communications, many sensors and even radiation sensors (such as Geiger counters) are likely to fail due to EMP or saturation during an initial burst, making them useless during this critical window.
GSTND has developed sensor technology which, when deployed in a distributed “mesh network” within urban infrastructure can provide a “threat map” that may be accessed by a handheld device and potentially a cell phone app. This technology, recently beta tested in our handheld device (not marketed) is proven to be Radiation and EMP resistant. Our patented circuitry protects our electronics against ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, EMP and HPM. This means that in this most unfortunate and extreme of events, our technology can continue to collect, measure, and transmit data enabling the user to understand the immediate impact to self and others and to develop a plan – to “hunker down” or navigate to safety. Specific capabilities of data collection are:

Threat map showing point source of threat and radiation dispersal pattern.
Realtime measurements of radiation doses greater than 50 millirad between reads.
Read rate of up to one minute in environments in excess of 5 Krads.
