FLIR identiFINDER R700
The identiFINDER R700 Backpack Radiation Detector (BRD) offers a hands-free capability for broad-area radiological search and monitoring missions. Wear it to search a wide area on foot, or set it on the included tripod mount for stationary monitoring at a temporary checkpoint.

Walk the area. Find the source.
Teledyne FLIR says the identiFINDER R700 provides the user all that is required to successfully perform wide-area searches quickly, efficiently and confidently. Here is how a search on foot comes together.
Wear it, hands-free
An ergonomic design for all-day operator wear: the long battery life and balanced load are designed for extended missions, and both hands stay free.
> 18 h dual batteries
Walk the route
The large 2” x 4” x 8” detector allows for rapid detection and identification of even the smallest radiation sources, with readings on a mobile phone-based user interface.
From a few seconds to minutes
Pinpoint the source
360° EasyFinder™ mode collects and interprets data to pinpoint radiation at the source, enabling faster location of threats.
Identify it
Nuclide identification exceeds ANSI N42.53, with library categories SNM, SNMR, IND, MED, NUC, NORM, UKN.
Depends on gamma exposure; typically < 2 min
One 2 x 4 x 8” detector, two versions
Teledyne FLIR says the R700 builds on the award-winning identiFINDER R440, offering an advanced spectroscopic algorithm and detection techniques scaled up to a man-portable backpack for increased sensitivity and speed. It is offered with either of two detectors.
NaIL™ (NaI:Tl, Li)
gamma-neutronCounts neutrons with the dual-mode NaIL detector, without the need for an additional neutron detector.
NaI(Tl)
gamma-neutron indicationDetects harmful neutrons with NaI, listed as gamma-neutron indication rather than neutron counting.

On your back or on a tripod
The R700’s capabilities configured as a backpack or a stationary device allow multiple mission sets, from wide area searches to temporary check points.
On the move, unmarked
- 01
Covert form factor
Teledyne FLIR states that the unmarked backpack form-factor and mobile phone-based user interface allow operators to detect radiological threats covertly, even in a crowd.
- 02
Built for all-day wear
The long battery life and balanced load are designed for extended missions.
- 03
Hot-swappable power
2x rechargeable Li-Ion smartpacks (hot-swappable): > 9 h runtime with a single battery pack, > 18 h with dual batteries.
Makeshift checkpoints
Screen traffic through a temporary control point.
Fence-line monitoring
Hold a fixed position along a perimeter.
Temporary screening
Set up at other temporary screening locations.
Fixed-site monitoring
When coupled with radiation monitoring software.
The rugged and weatherproof IP67 design operates in the harshest weather conditions.
Set it down, keep watching
- 01
Included tripod mount
The included tripod mount enables stationary deployment for remote radiation monitoring.
- 02
Temporary locations
Teledyne FLIR: the R700 can be placed for stationary monitoring at makeshift checkpoints, fence-line monitoring, and other temporary screening locations.
- 03
Fixed-site option
When coupled with radiation monitoring software, the identiFINDER R700 can be used as a fixed-site monitoring tool.
Four detectors, one screen
Use multi-device mode with the R700 to view and control up to 4x R700s from one Android or iOS device, using the built-in Wi-Fi.
- 01
Directionality and coverage
Networking devices provides directionality for detection and greater coverage over a larger area.
- 02
Less time to locate
Multiple R700s linked together reduce the time to locate and identify any potential radiological threat.
- 03
The checkpoint layout
The illustration shows four R700 units placed around a vehicle control point, each linked wirelessly to an operator whose tablet shows all four device panels.
- Checkpoints
- Maritime inspections
- Cargo/freight monitoring
- Airport and event monitoring
- Source recovery
