FLIR’s IDENTIFINDER R200 RADIATION DETECTOR can be mounted in a vehicle or worn to provide 24/7 radiation monitoring. When an alarm sounds, the identiFINDER R200 detects the radioisotope, enabling responders to assess the nature of the threat on-site and identify a true threat from an innocent material. Additionally, FLIR is readying an iPhone and Android mobile app for the IdentiFINDER R200 that delivers OneTouch Reachback™ through Bluetooth.

This allows the front-line responder to share information from the emergency site with partner responders. The ability to instantly communicate threats remotely provides responders with advanced warning, enhances situational awareness and the capacity to perform real-time support analysis and verification. www.flir.com/r200.
