Sandia created the Mobile Instrumentation Data Acquisition System (MIDAS) to provide on-site data acquisition and analysis capabilities for testing of radioactive and hazardous materials packages. MIDAS allows researchers, designers, and regulators to examine and understand how a package behaves in a variety of environments.
MIDAS is exceptionally consistent and widely trusted throughout the regulatory community; therefore, systems, subsystems, and component-level data are used to benchmark results supporting package design and certification activities.
