FlyCam UAV and US Nuclear Corp. Create Radiation Detection UAS
FlyCam UAV and US Nuclear Corp. have combined to create two unmanned aircraft capable of detecting radiation and chemical leaks. The Cypher 6 hexacopter and the NEO octacopter will come equipped with the DroneRad system, which will detect the leaks.
“Sensors mounted on UAVs is the perfect marriage of two technologies that will be a game changer for a variety of different industries,” said Jeri Donaldson, CEO and owner of FlyCam UAV, according to Commercial UAV Expo. “In addition, the need for security is at an all-time high and our technology can remove the human element from a potentially dangerous situation. The practical and potential applications of the Cypher 6 and Neo with US Nuclear Corp.’s DroneRad sensor package are enormous and we have yet to see all of the use cases of the devices.”
The two UAS are capable of transmitting data to operators in real time. The data can be tagged with GPS coordinates to tell exact locations, and that information can be stored onboard, with the option to view or download it after a flight.
