Radseeker, a next-generation, hand-held radiation detection and identification device, is designed to meet specific Department of Homeland Security (DHS) mission requirements. Used by Customs and Border Protection (CBP), emergency responders and law enforcement agents around the world, the self-calibrating Radseeker locates sources of radiological material and distinguishes nuclear threats from legitimately occurring radiation.

Our enhanced footprint in the Edgewood plant positions us to engage even more directly with key customers and to maintain their trust over the long term.”

SDI’s U.S. headquarters and home to its globally recognised training and service support centre for the Americas is also located in Edgewood, MD.
