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 serves as the airframe for the R430. The R430 provides a balance of size and weight for various situations including survey, emergency response, and environmental monitoring.
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.
