MUVE™ R430
The MUVE R430 is a radiation detector designed for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) used to detect, locate, measure, map, and identify radioactive sources from above. The SkyRanger® R70 and R80D SkyRaider™ serve as the airframe for the R430. The R430 is integrated into the R70 and R80D’s Mission Control Software (MCS) providing visible and audible alerts that expedite response measures. The R430 provides a balance of size and weight for various situations including emergency response, environmental monitoring and surveying.
The MUVE R430 brings the pedigree of the identiFINDER series of best-selling radionuclide identification devices to the sky. Utilizing the same, familiar interface the R430 can go quickly perform assessments in hard-to-reach places and environments while keeping the operator at a safe distance.
