This lightweight, portable system enables homeland security, defense, law enforcement, CBRNe, emergency response, border control, and critical infrastructure protection teams to discreetly monitor radiological threats. With a patented Natural Background Rejection (NBR) algorithm, the PackEye XS minimizes false alarms from natural radiation and provides immediate feedback on artificial or abnormal radiation sources. The system delivers a competitive advantage with an industry-leading 8-lb system weight, compared to the typical 15-22 lb industry standard, and an extended runtime of up to 24 hours – significantly longer than industry average. Its size, weight, and battery life make the PackEye XS purpose-built for on-foot, long-duration, and covert deployments. *“The PackEye™ XS represents a jump forward in covert radiation detection,"* said Johnny Long, Sr. Manager, Product Management. *“With its lightweight design, high detection sensitivity, and integration with RadBridge™ Mobile – a platform that transmits radiation detection data in real time – the system empowers security and defense professionals to monitor radiological threats covertly, even in crowded or mission-critical environments."* **Features/Benefits:** - **Mobile Control and Integration:** RadBridge™ Mobile enables remote operation and seamless integration with the Thermo Scientific™ RadEye™ SPRD personal radiation detector for data sharing and threat communication - **Compact and Durable:** Lightweight 8-lb backpack design with IP54/IP65 exposure ratings allows deployment in challenging environments - **Advanced Sensitivity:** Patented NBR technology reduces false alarms while maintaining high detection accuracy - **Standards Compliant:** Meets N 42.53, IEC 62694, IEC 62706 for reliable performance in global deployments - **Rapid Data Sharing:** Integration with RadEye™ SPRD and RadBridge™ Mobile (iOS and Android) enables rapid identification, remote control, and seamless data sharing ## Schema ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "News", "item": "https://cbrneworld.com/news" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Thermo Fisher Scientific Launches PackEye XS Radiation Detection Backpack", "item": "https://cbrneworld.com/news/thermo-fisher-scientific-launches-packeye-xs-radiation-detection-backpack" } ] } ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "NewsArticle", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://cbrneworld.com/news/thermo-fisher-scientific-launches-packeye-xs-radiation-detection-backpack" }, "headline": "Thermo Fisher Scientific Launches PackEye XS Radiation Detection Backpack", "description": "Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Thermo Scientific™ PackEye™ XS Radiation Detection Backpack, a next-generation system designed for covert radiation detection, identification, and assessment.
