Airborne Gamma/Neutron Identification

The Teledyne FLIR MUVE R430 is a drone-mountable radionuclide identification device (RIID) for rapid detection, localisation, measurement, and identification of gamma—and, in the GN model, neutron—sources. Built for public safety, defence, and environmental teams, it streams live dose-rate, spectra, alerts, and maps into mission control while keeping responders out of harm’s way. Modular UAS hardware, an onboard web server, and seamless Mission Control Software integration deliver an end-to-end workflow from first sweep to standards-based report.

Why Teams Choose MUVE R430?

• Faster decisions: identiFINDER®-grade algorithms return IDs in seconds to minutes.
• Rugged to deploy: IP67 enclosure; MIL-STD-810G salt/fog compliant; –30 to 60 °C.
• Consistent UX: audible/visual alerts, live overlays, and contamination mapping in Mission Control.
• Power & mounting friendly: ≤ 2.0 lb, 4×4×4 in cube; UAS interface port + USB-C.
• Trusted data: sourceless gain stabilisation; 1024-channel spectra; ANSI N42.42 output.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which modalities are supported?
Gamma spectroscopy and dose-rate on all units; neutron detection on the GN model.

How rugged is the R430?
It’s IP67 and MIL-STD-810G salt/fog compliant, operating from –30 to 60 °C.

Which drones does it work with?
It integrates with Teledyne FLIR SkyRanger R70 and R80D SkyRaider Mission Control. For other airframes, enquire about interface support.

Does it meet reporting standards?
Yes—spectra and ID reporting follow ANSI N42.42 for consistent files and workflows.

Is there on-device processing?
Yes—the payload performs detection and nuclide identification, serving data via onboard web server and into Mission Control.

What’s included?
The payload plus connectivity and documentation; mounting kits vary by UAS configuration.
