FLIR Systems indentiFINDER R100

Platinum Award , Best CBRNE Detection System The FLIR identiFINDER ® R100 personal radiation detector is the latest addition to the industryleading identiFINDER R-Series handheld radiation security solutions .
Importantly , a terrorist does not have to be carrying an explosive for residue to be detected . A bomb-maker who has previously handled explosives can have residue left on their person or property for an extended time period .
Technologies like FLIR ’ s TrueTrace™ core have advanced handheld ETDs to the point that they can sense traces of explosive material that are invisible to the naked eye , to levels that fall below a nanogram . A nanogram is 1 / 1,000,000,000th of the weight of a paperclip .
The ability to detect trace-level evidence makes it possible to screen “ first-touch areas ” for residue left by someone who has handled explosives .
First-touch areas include surfaces a person would lift , slide , move , zip , tuck , or press . Backpacks , car door handles , keys , tickets , and badges can all be screened for the presence of explosives in as little as ten seconds .
This trace evidence provides actionable intelligence , and can lead to catching a terrorist ahead of the act , rather than after the fact .
