as a standalone device and connected wirelessly to a<br />
Rapiscan oversight system for remote data collection<br />
and display. Using the MP100 is as easy as slipping<br />
the backpack on and walking around. Weighing just<br />
18 pounds, the MP100 is lightweight and easy to use.<br />
Additionally, the onboard battery enables 16 hours of<br />
continuous operation in a wide range of environments.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Rapiscan RadviewerTM Android app displays the<br />
operator’s current position and direction toward the<br />
radiation source. <strong>The</strong> design of the MP100’s radiation<br />
detectors provides increased directional sensitivity of<br />
the radiation detection. A radiation alarm is signaled audibly<br />
via a headphone jack on the backpack or visually<br />
via RadviewerTM. In this way, the MP100 enables users<br />
to effectively detect and locate radioactive threats. <strong>The</strong><br />
MP100 is manufactured by Rapiscan’s Radiation Detection<br />
Products division, which has supplied thousands of<br />
radiation monitors that are deployed at border crossings,<br />
seaports, airports and facilities around the world.<br />
<strong>The</strong> MP100 uses Rapiscan’s proven radiation detection<br />
technology adapted for a backpack deployment. <strong>The</strong><br />
radiation detection performance meets the requirements<br />
of ANSI N42.53. <strong>The</strong> MP100 offers customers<br />
efficient, easy to use and reliable man-portable radiation<br />
detection with high performance at an affordable cost of<br />
acquisition and operation.<br />
