Tactical Digital Radiography System

Cuattro Tactical, supplied by J3Seven, is a rugged, ultra-portable digital radiography system designed with bomb technicians and tactical teams in mind. Its tough, glass-free detector, rapid image acquisition and long-range wireless options make it ideal for EOD, counter-IED and specialist search operations where operators need clear images from a safe distance.

With a 10 × 12 inch detector, 99 micrometre resolution and 16-bit dynamic range, Cuattro Tactical delivers high-definition images that reveal fine details inside bags, parcels, luggage and improvised devices. Features such as True OnePulse automatic exposure detection, nearly zero EMI emissions and on-board image storage help teams get the shot the first time, even in complex and cluttered environments.

Why Teams Choose Cuattro Tactical

Purpose-built for bomb techs: Cuattro Tactical was developed specifically around EOD and bomb squad requirements, with workflows and software tools tuned for time-critical threat assessment rather than general radiography.

Rugged, glass-free detector: A flexible, non-glass substrate improves durability and impact resistance compared with traditional flat panels, supporting repeated use in rough environments and tight access points.

Lightweight and easy to handle: At around 1.7 kg with internal batteries, the detector can be carried, placed and repositioned quickly by a single operator, reducing time spent forward of cover.

IP67 water and dust resistance: Sealed to IP67, Cuattro Tactical is ready for adverse weather, dirty ground and wet or dusty urban locations that would challenge non-rugged systems.

True OnePulse automatic exposure detection: Proprietary automatic exposure detection with a zero-EMI optical trigger is designed to minimise electromagnetic emissions around sensitive devices while still capturing high-quality images.

Exposure Anytime capability: The system can capture and store images on the detector even without a connected tablet or laptop, then automatically transfer them once the acquire device is available.

Long-range wireless control: Cuattro Tactical supports long-range wireless control of both the generator and detector, with typical image transfer and display in around 3–5 seconds, reducing the need for long cable runs.

High-definition imaging at low dose: A 99 micrometre pixel pitch, 16-bit dynamic range and high-sensitivity imaging modes help reveal dense components and fine details while supporting low-dose techniques.

Software built for EOD workflows: Cuattro Tactical software integrates with XTK, supports 5-pin and 7-pin sources, and provides a fast “set and shoot” workflow with advanced image processing and multi-detector capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What missions is Cuattro Tactical designed for?
Cuattro Tactical is built for EOD, bomb squad and tactical tasks where rapid deployment, rugged hardware and long-range operation are essential. Typical scenarios include suspicious packages, vehicle-borne threats, infrastructure checks and operations around key facilities or public spaces.

How portable is the system?
The 10 × 12 inch detector weighs around 1.7 kg and is designed for easy placement by a single operator. With the PakPro case and protective covers, the system travels well in vehicles and can be deployed quickly on scene.

Can Cuattro Tactical work with our existing X-ray generator?
In many cases, yes. Cuattro Tactical supports complete source integration for common 5-pin and 7-pin generators with automated adjustments. J3Seven can assess your current equipment and recommend the best configuration.

How does the long-range wireless capability help?
Long-range wireless technologies allow operators to control both the generator and detector and receive images in roughly 3–5 seconds, all from a safe standoff position. This reduces reliance on long cable runs and helps keep personnel behind cover for more of the mission.

What sort of image quality can we expect?
With a 99 micrometre pixel pitch, 16-bit dynamic range and high-sensitivity mode, Cuattro Tactical provides high-definition images suitable for identifying switches, wiring, power sources and other critical components within a device, even at low dose settings.

Does Cuattro Tactical integrate with XTK?
Yes. Cuattro Tactical software is designed with full XTK integration, including direct mosaic input, so images can be exploited and documented using existing tools and workflows.

What support does J3Seven provide?
