RADEAGLE-Cx Highly Sensitive, Adaptable Detection Units for a Variety of Radiation Detection and Identification Applications

RADEAGLE-Cx (RECx) leverages ORTEC’s proven ID isotope algorithms in a versatile hardware platform.  

Key Features and Benefits
  • Three sizes, each available with and without neutron detectors allow tailoring to specific applications and budgets
  • Color display and 3-button interface allows fail-safe means of user communication should external devices become unavailable
  • Multiple RECx modules can be interconnected and accessed via the web interface enabling the user to easily set-up and control highly sensitive detection systems for either permanent or temporary applications (such as choke-point monitors)
  • Proprietary method for addressing background radiation permits seamless transition from stationary to mobile operation without the need to change modes
  • Unrivaled ID algorithms provide similar performance to RadEAGLE and RadEAGLET-R, but with much greater sensitivity
  • REST, MQTT, MFK, and SIGMA APIs provide multiple means of data sharing
  • Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) ready for simple integration into customer’s infrastructure
  • Intuitive RADsync Apple and Android apps along with a web-based interface facilitate ease of use
  • GPS “breadcrumb” mapping to record and review routes and locations of radiation alarms/IDs

    Versatility
    Interactive or Independent Operations: The RECx can function as interactive systems with active user participation (such as backpacks, vehicle systems, airborne systems, pop-up portals), or as standalone systems that are permanently installed and connected through the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
    Adaptable Gamma and Neutron Detection: The RECx is versatile in meeting your application’s sensitivity needs with three different sizes of gamma detectors available. Furthermore, the optional LiZnS neutron detector provides outstanding neutron detection performance without the need for 3He.

    Innovative Isotope ID Algorithm for Exceptional Real-World Performance
    Next-Generation Identification: The RECx utilizes innoRIID’s thoroughly tested, reliable, and groundbreaking isotope identification algorithm. Instead of depending solely on template matching like many other systems, our strategy integrates template matching, peak search, and multi-agent analysis. This sturdy technique minimizes false alarms while precisely identifying radionuclides of interest, even in complex real-world situations involving masked and shielded sources.

    Modular and Interconnected with IIoT Capabilities
    Multiple RECx modules can be interconnected to build larger, integrated measurement setups that are controlled and monitored via the on-board web interface. Additionally, RECx units are compatible with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) standards, so networked units (RJ-45, Wi-Fi) are fully interoperable and can send semantic identification information to become virtually integrated into any existing IT infrastructure. The RECx supports Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) data streaming, provides an interactive REST API to retrieve data, and has a classical serial output port. Autonomous units are set to be always on when power is present and will re-start and resume function after a loss of power (the RECx also has batteries on-board in case of outages).

    Rugged and Lightweight Design
    The RECx module enclosure combines aluminum and carbon fiber, delivering durability without compromising portability. Shock absorbent material is employed to protect sensitive internal components.
  • RADEAGLE-Cx Backpack +


    The RADEAGLE-Cx module enclosure combines aluminum and carbon fiber, delivering durability without compromising portabilityThe RECx-BP is optimized for use in a wearable configuration that provides exceptional radioisotope detection and identification performance in a discreet, ergonomic military-grade backpack. The RECx-BP includes all the functionality of the standard RECx units and even works with augmented reality glasses with ActiveLook® technology to provide key information to the user without sacrificing situational awareness. Furthermore, the RECx-BP includes mapping software that provides a radiation “heatmap” along with isotope ID information.

    RECx Backpack Key Features:
    • Available with either a 2” x 4” x 4” or 2” x 4” x 8” gamma detector, and with or without a LiZnS neutron detectors.
    • Proprietary ID algorithms provide fast, accurate identification and classification.
    • Intuitive RADsync Apple and Android apps along with a web-based interface facilitate ease of use
    • Discreet, ergonomic backpack provides comfortable operation even over the longest missions.
    • Hot-Swappable batteries allow continuous operation.
    • Integrated GPS mapping software allows “breadcrumb” tracking and locations of potential threats.
    • Multiple APIs facilitate sharing information: REST, MQTT, MFK, SIGMA (Q3-24).
    • Can interface with augmented reality glasses via RADsync app to maximize the operator’s situational awareness while performing discreet operations (compatible with any brand incorporating ActiveLook® technology
