Drone Designed For Incidents like Fukishima Disaster

Through project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and Sellafield, a team at the University of Bristol has developed the drone, called the ARM system.

The drone has visual, thermal and radiation monitoring payloads for radiation mapping of radioactively contaminated sites like those of Fukishima disaster. The team is also working on UAV mapping and exploration algorithms for detecting buried explosives and depleted uranium ordinance.
