FLIR Launches the Fido X4

FLIR Systems, Inc. announced the launch of the FLIR Fido X4, the newest, most advanced version of its premium handheld explosives trace detector. It reportedly delivers unmatched sensitivity for a broad range of explosives, so users can easily detect threats at levels other devices cannot.
 
FLIR Systems’ TrueTrace detection technology features a new five-channel sensor array that delivers expanded threat coverage. TrueTrace can accurately detect a wide range of explosives at nanogram to sub-nanogram levels – including military, commercial, improvised, and homemade explosives – allowing users to gain actionable intelligence through identification of threats in as little as 10 seconds.
 
A FLIR PackBot Hardware Integration Kit will sync the Fido X4 with the company’s unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) widely used for explosive ordnance and bomb disposal. Fido’s multi-platform adaptability will allow users to switch the device from handheld operation to unmanned systems for standoff threat detection.
 
Weighing three pounds and ergonomically built to minimise operator fatigue, the Fido X4 is designed for extended operations of up to 16 hours with two 8-hour, hot-swappable batteries. X4’s new simplified user interface features on-board video tutorials, user prompts, and colour-coded alarms with strength indicators for quick and decisive operation. Analysing and reporting results is made easy through multiple connectivity options, so critical data can be shared fast.
 
FLIR and authorised FLIR channel partners are currently taking pre-orders for the Fido X4 and shipments will begin in December 2019. The PackBot Hardware Integration Kit is being developed in 2020.
