Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems Engineering vice-president Michael Del Checcolo said that the need to effectively detect and track the movement of nuclear material increased every day.
“ISIS will enable the US Government to more effectively identify and classify nuclear materials to help prevent their unauthorised entry into the country,” he said.
Work will be carried out by a Raytheon-led team with other partners including Los Alamos National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Advanced Energy Systems, Bubble Technology Industries and experts from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
