SAMpack 120 (Human Portable) Radiation Detection Backpack with Isotope ID
The RD-120 Series SAMpack is a customizable, low-power backpack radiation detector designed for clandestine gamma and neutron monitoring, rapid source localization, and reachback integration—ideal for homeland security, first responders, border patrol, and covert operations.
- Detects and identifies gamma and neutron radiation with isotope ID
- Customizable: multiple detector types and networking options
- Remote/standoff alarming options
- Low power consumption → many hours of continuous operation
- Smartphone app integration: local alarming, photo capture, and manual data transmission
- Automatic reachback: continuous transmission of GPS location, radiation levels, energy spectrum
- Supports additional user software for fast, automatic data relay to command centers
- Advanced multi-detector algorithms + Rad-Compass for directional indication (faster source localization)
