Radiation Backpack Sentry

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The Bruker Radiation Backpack Sentry is a mobile radiological detection system designed to address the threat of radioactive material release, whether deliberate or accidental. It is particularly relevant in scenarios involving dirty bombs, where radiological material is dispersed using explosives.

System Overview
The Radiation Backpack Sentry is a lightweight, self-contained unit that allows for the screening of objects, people, and areas. It employs a large scintillation crystal for high sensitivity and fast detection rates, enabling the detection of low-level threats in various environments, from small security checkpoints to large public events.

Features

Ruggedized, high sensitivity gamma detector
Fast automatic isotope identification
Lightweight and ergonomic design
Intuitive touch screen interface
Visual and voice notifications for alarms and identified threats
Bluetooth earpiece for hands-free operation
Automatic calibration and continuous stabilization

User Interface
The system features an intuitive user interface with a color touch screen display. It provides real-time data viewing and automatic calibration, with isotope identification typically achieved in 2 seconds.

The Bruker Radiation Backpack Sentry The deliberate or accidental release of radioactive material is an increasing threat to modern society. Terrorists fabricating and detonating a dirty bomb with radiological material is a common scenario for emergency services. Radiological material can be easily obtained from medical waste, research facilities, and other sources. Conventional or homemade explosives can be used to disperse the poisonous material over large crowded metropolitan areas. The expected financial and emotional impact of such an attack is enormous. This could easily affect the economy...

User Interface The Bruker Radiation Backpack Sentry has an easy to read intuitive user interface for data viewing. The handheld's main data view switches between current dose rate and dose rate history with a simple touch to the screen. The software automati- cally and continuously calibrates the system with a calibration reference so there is never any need for user intervention. Isotope identification is typically achieved in 2 seconds with advanced algorithms developed by Bruker. There are several key features, including spectra viewing, which are available in additional easy Standard Accessories...
