Frequently Asked Questions
What are backpack radiation detectors used for?
They’re used to conduct wide-area surveys or covert radiation screening in public spaces, critical infrastructure, and large events.
What types of radiation do they detect?
Backpack Radiation Detectors typically detect gamma radiation, with some models also offering neutron detection and isotope identification.
Are they discreet enough for undercover use?
Yes. Their design allows for low-profile operation under clothing or gear, making them suitable for sensitive or public environments.
How are they controlled?
Most systems can be monitored and controlled via wired interfaces or mobile apps, offering real-time alerts and data visualisation.
