FLIR Systems announced introduction of the latest in handheld radiation detection technology. The nanoRaider spectroscopic personal radiation detector (SPRD) is a pager-sized device with full detection and identification capabilities.

The nanoRaider provides the highest detector resolution available in a pagersized device with sensitivity and identification capabilities not previously available in an SPRD. The nanoRaider uses the same easy to navigate interface customers have come to know from the identiFinder as well as one touch reachback capability for immediate reporting. By incorporating identification capabilities, the nanoRaider can virtually eliminate the false alarm and false positives that are common to non-identifying pagers.

“Ease of use is a key component in all FLIR handheld radiation monitors,” said Bill Sundermeier, President of FLIR Government Systems. “With the nanoRaider, FLIR has enabled precise identification capabilities never before seen in a spectroscopic pager.”
