High Fidelity Simulation for Operational Readiness
Realistic look, feel and response
The AccuRad PRD-SIM closely replicates the user interface, controls and response speed of the real detector. All interface components are positioned and function in the same way, ensuring that muscle memory and operational procedures transfer directly to live equipment use.
Simulated sensitivity and source detection
The simulator provides realistic delivered sensitivity, allowing detection of simulated gamma sources at operationally relevant distances. This enables effective training in search, find and localisation tasks without radiation exposure.
Directional Search and Source Localisation
Fully simulated AccuRad Radar search mode
A key feature of the Mirion AccuRad PRD is its directional source localisation capability. This function is fully simulated in the AccuRad PRD-SIM, allowing users to practise interpreting directional cues and locating radiation sources accurately.
One-handed operation in realistic conditions
The simulator is compact and suitable for one-handed use, including when wearing gloves. This supports realistic training for patrol, checkpoint and emergency response scenarios.
Consistent and Repeatable Training Outcomes
Reliable readings across scenarios and devices
Proprietary signal processing ensures that simulated readings are consistent and repeatable. When students revisit the same scenario location, detector responses remain stable and predictable. Readings across multiple simulators remain within accepted tolerances, supporting fair assessment and team-based training.
Wide Area and Scenario-Based Training
Integration with PlumeSIM
The AccuRad PRD-SIM can be used as part of wide area, instrumented training exercises. This allows teams to respond to simulated radiation release events across real environments, supporting tactical and emergency response training at scale.
Single or multi-device exercises
The simulator supports training with individual operators or multiple teams using different detection systems within the same scenario, reflecting real operational deployments.
Low Cost, Low Risk Training
Reduced cost of ownership
The AccuRad PRD-SIM uses the same commercial battery type as the real detector and requires no preventative maintenance or recalibration. This significantly reduces ongoing costs compared to training with live instruments.
Protect operational equipment
By using the simulator instead of live detectors during training, organisations avoid accidental damage to operational assets and maintain readiness for real incidents.
