Devices to alert the team to the prejudic presence of radiation. In 2004 we developed a maritime Radiation Detection program and maintain a close relationship to standardize the equipment and enhance the National Capacity for detection with multiple levels of capability including the ability to reach back to scientific experts for more information. We do this in conjunction with cbp and with tsas visible intermodal response. Many of our units including our coastwide sectors and our Deployable Specialized forces and our major cutters are equipped with the devices that can identify specific isotopes distinguished between manmade and Natural Sources and reach back for assistance.

The msrt is specifically designed and exercised to integrate with other inner agency or dod response forces
