GRACE Gamma Ray Analysis of Chemical Elements

GRACE is a man-portable system that analyzes and provides on-site identification information about the chemical contents inside munitions or other unopened containers without the need to penetrate the container to take a physical sample. It uses PINS technology which is widely deployed by military and intelligence organizations around the world to identify the contents of "suspect" packages.

The system is comprised of a lightweight stand, a Trans-SPEC-X-N High Resolution Gamma-Ray Spectrometer, a neutron emitting Mini-Gen Neutron Generator, and associated electronics; all controlled by a rugged tablet computer and contained in two military style backpack case assemblies made of carbon fiber that include active cooling for the electronics within.

The GRACE System offers unprecedented value with the elimination of liquid nitrogen, reduced operating cost, lightweight field deployment and built-in automatic ID of chemicals all in a rugged design.
While other chemical analysis and identification systems require sampling, opening or even transport to a controlled facility for measurement, the GRACE system can perform sampling through containers and sealed vessels at their precise field location. The ability to detect potential chemical and explosive threats is now possible in any environmental condition.

The GRACE system makes non-destructive chemical identification a powerful solution for any security professional that requires a higher degree of safety in inspecting the contents of munitions, tanks, shielded containers, drums, or any unknown chemical mixture.
