Overview
The PackEye XS is a wearable radiation search system for covert patrols, special events and public deployments. Gamma and neutron detectors fit inside an ordinary laptop-size backpack weighing about 8 lb, so an operator can move through crowds, transit hubs and venues without drawing attention while the system continuously screens for radioactive and nuclear material.
Thermo's patented natural background radiation (NBR) rejection algorithm separates naturally occurring radiation, such as the elevated readings around stone buildings and tunnels, from artificial sources, so teams can keep sensitivity high without chasing nuisance alarms. Everything is controlled through the RadBridge mobile app for iOS and Android: view live data, map detection history, push alarms to headphones or a smartwatch, and send data back to command.
Pair the backpack with a RadEye SPRD personal radiation detector and, once a source is located, start an isotope identification from the app without opening the bag. The Backpack Kit includes a RadEye SPRD-ER for this purpose. Instrument data is collated automatically for review, export and reachback, and the system complies with ANSI N42.53, IEC 62694 and IEC 62706.
