With the commercial availability of high efficiency 3 He counters it has become possible to construct a mobile neutron monitor that will count 250 000 particles, i.e. with 0.2% counting statistics, in less than 6 days (at sea level at the highest cutoff rigidities). Such a monitor will have dimensions not exceeding 40x40x90 cm, and its mass will be about 220 kg. It can, therefore, be physically handled and put next to neutron monitors in the world-wide network to intercalibrate them, and to derive intensity spectra (differential response functions) from them. This spectral information will make neutron monitors much more useful cosmic ray detectors. This contribution describes the physical and electronic design of this calibrator, simulations of its counting rate, and the first plans to calibrate it against an NM64 neutron monitor.
