About the Mission

The nuclear treaty verification community uses infrasound stations as an additional tool, besides seismic, hydroacoustic, and radionuclide stations, to monitor and verify effectively if a nuclear explosion occurred.

Project Objective

Kinemetrics supplies high-resolution digitizers and engineering services to achieve the monitoring mission. That includes transmitting data in an authorized and untampered matter.

Project Achievement

Kinemetrics delivered more than 90 Q330M+ high-resolution integrated monitoring systems, which are installed on all continents (except in Antarctica). The Q330M+ supports the community’s CD1.1 protocol. It features an integrated authentication and encryption device, a built-in tamper switch, and input for site-intrusion sensors.
