| National Security
SAIC's national security efforts reach across all branches of the military
and support the full spectrum of military operations – from peace
keeping and humanitarian missions to major conflicts. SAIC also helps
the U.S. Department of Defense, the FBI, and other agencies combat terrorism,
cybercrime, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Whether helping the U.S. Army develop systems to enhance night vision
capabilities, helping the Air Force train far-flung units worldwide via
the Internet, or helping the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command achieve
seamless, secure multimedia connectivity for Navy ship and shore communications,
SAIC's technical expertise enables U.S. forces to be safer and smarter.
SAIC also develops products and applied technologies which aid in anti-terrorism
and Homeland Security efforts. Our anti-terrorism products range from
vehicle and cargo inspection systems for contraband detection, portable
X-ray inspection systems to inspect suspect packages for explosives, to
software that assesses the consequences of technological and natural disasters
to population, resources and infrastructure.
SAIC’s VACIS® Inspection Systems
VACIS®
Inspection Systems use innovative gamma ray scanning technology
to produce images of the contents of vehicles, cargo containers, cargo
on pallets, and other items. VACIS systems can safely scan an entire vehicle
or container in as little as 15 seconds, enabling a facility to scan high
volumes of cargo with minimal impact on traffic.
VACIS systems provide ports, terminals, customs and other transportation
checkpoint personnel an effective, practical way to help identify:
- Undeclared or wrongly declared cargo for the collection of duties
- Stolen vehicles, stowaways, illegal aliens and other contraband
- Radioactive materials and other suspicious items that could contain
or themselves be weapons, chemicals or drugs
VACIS systems are available in five configurations (Mobile, Portal, Railroad,
Pallet, and Relocatable) to address the inspection requirements of a wide
range of customers and customer locations.

SAIC’s EXPLORANIUM™ Radiation Portal Monitors
The EXPLORANIUM AT-900 Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM) series
uses advanced passive scanning technology for the detection and location
of gamma and neutron radiation sources in closed, moving vehicles, containers
and railcars. Sophisticated spectral analysis techniques and low-noise
signal processing provide enhanced sensitivity to low level sources, and
the AT-900 RPM series can scan an entire container, trailer or railcar
in seconds.
The AT-900 RPM series can also be integrated with the EXPLORANIUM
GR-135 handheld Isotope Identifier, for use in further analysis
and classification of the hidden radioactive source revealed by an alarm.
SAIC’s RTR-4® Portable Digital X-ray systems
RTR-4 systems provide quick, efficient investigation
of suspicious packages by Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), security,
and law enforcement agency personnel around the world. RTR-4 configurations
provide the ability to quickly, safely, and efficiently search for weapons,
drugs, and contraband in areas too difficult or time-consuming to search
by hand.
RTR-4 systems produce higher image quality, less noise, and more contrast
than typical analog systems, since the digital transmission prevents image
degradation. Operating without film, RTR-4 images are instantly displayed
and can be saved in an industry-standard format.
SAIC’s Radiation Pagers & Detectors
Through patented innovations and advanced microelectronics, SAIC has
produced the full-featured model PD-10i electronic dosimeter as
a stand alone, pager-sized device providing digital information for radiation
exposure. The PD-10i has pushbuttons that allow the user to adjust alarm
set-points for dose, rate, and chirp, eliminating the need for computer/reader
interface. SAIC’s EXPLORANIUM™ GR-100 personal radiation
detector is designed to sense radioactive emissions from nuclear
sources. With preset alarms for both gamma and neutron radiation, the
GR-100 has finely tuned sensors capable of entering a search mode to help
localize radiation sources.
Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) is the largest employee-owned research and engineering company in the United States, with annual revenues of $7.2 billion and more than 43,000 employees in over 150 cities worldwide. SAIC engineers and scientists solve complex technical problems in national security, homeland security, energy, the environment, space, telecommunications, health care, and logistics.
