The Guardian™ Patriot backpack is a highly sensitive radiation detection system that can detect and identify a wide range of radioactive material, including medical isotopes, industrial isotopes, special nuclear materials (SNM), and naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM). The Guardian Patriot can be deployed as a backpack worn by the operator or placed in a vehicle for greater area coverage. The backpack can communicate wirelessly, allowing mission-critical data to be monitored by a remote command center or reach-back facility.
