Nuclear Safeguards Applications Employing Unmanned Airborne Vehicles
- Pacific Northwest National Lab. (PNNL), Richland, WA (United States)
This paper describes some potential applications for UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) in international nuclear safeguards. UAV missions can include indoor and outdoor operations including: 1) surveillance, which includes all types of sensors and imagers, 2) command and control augmentation (radio relays and real-time imagery used primarily to coordinate ground operations), and 3) physical sample collection and transport.
