Sensor Technology Engineering LLC
Developer and manufacturer of portable radiation detection systems for nuclear search and related missions. Focuses on products for military, federal, law enforcement and first responder use that prioritize sensitivity, reliability, ruggedness, and long operational life. Uses large scintillator crystals with photomultiplier tube readout for gamma detection and high‑pressure helium-3 tubes for neutron detection. Founded to enable broad distribution of personal radiation detectors; acquired by a U.S. aerospace/manufacturing group in 2018.
