The contract is to be delivered in the Group’s current financial year ending 30th April 2025.  

The contract, which was awarded after a competitive tender process, is for the supply of the Group’s D5 RIID, a handheld, highly-sensitive gamma and neutron detector, along with the Group’s Alpha Beta probe attachment and other associated products. Launched in November 2023, the Alpha Beta probe connects directly to the D5 RIID to enable alpha and beta radiation to be detected, allowing the single, small form factor upgraded device to detect all types of radioactive material.

With the Alpha Beta probe upgrade, our D5 RIID is one of the most versatile handheld radiation detectors available today. We are looking forward to delivering this contract and supporting UK national defence efforts and to continuing to strengthen our relationship with this important customer.”
