Frequently Asked Questions +

1. Is the RadEaglet-R compatible with AR glasses like the RECx systems?
Answer: No. This compatibility is not currently available but may be added in a future release.

2. Is RadEaglet-R available with a dual-mode detector such as CLLBC or NaIL?
Answer: No. Dual-mode detectors add cost and can compromise performance. Combining gamma and neutron detection in one detector risks saturation under high gamma dose rates (e.g., medical isotopes), reducing neutron spectroscopic capability.

3. Is there a mobile app for the RadEaglet-R for remote control and sending spectrum files to reach back?
Answer: Yes. The RadSync™ app is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

4. Does RadEaglet-R work with third-party C2 software platforms?
Answer: Yes. It is compatible with DTect/SIGMA and MFK, and its API supports integration with other C2 platforms.

5. Is there an IP68 variant of the RadEaglet-R?
Answer: No. For IP68-level protection, consider the RadEAGLE Aqua, which is designed for underwater use. The “H” variant of RadEAGLE refers to He-3 neutron tubes and does not indicate IP rating.

6. Can the RadEaglet-R be maintained in the field at depot-level facilities?
Answer: Yes. The RadEaglet-R is modular and can be serviced by trained maintenance personnel at depot-level facilities.

7. Does the RadEaglet-R have to be returned to the factory for software updates?
Answer: No. It supports onboard software updates, allowing users to download and apply updates themselves.

8. Does RadEaglet-R require proprietary software to access instrument settings and data from a host computer?
Answer: No. It includes an onboard webserver accessible via standard web browsers.
