Russia Develops FPV Drone to Monitor Radiation During Nuclear Attacks

Russia has revolutionized nuclear safety with an FPV drone which is capable of swooping into danger zones to scan for radiation, safeguarding lives in the shadow of nuclear danger.

“I am confident that common sense will prevail and the world will refrain from using nuclear weapons and our doomsday drone will never be needed. And yet we believe that it would a crime not to prepare for even the worst scenarios. Our specialists have developed a doomsday drone for monitoring background radiation and ensuring the security of personnel as part of the Khrust project,” Dmitry Kuzyakin, CEO of the Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions (CUS), a Russian drone developer, was quoted as saying by TASS.

The newly developed drone is compact and can be stowed alongside ground-based equipment. Its flight time is up to 20 minutes in active maneuvering mode, and its operational range varies depending on terrain and signal conditions, from 500 meters in areas of continuous contamination to 2 kilometers in areas of variable contamination.

The CUS has developed over 20 operational scenarios, including conducting assault operations in urban environments and buildings for counter-terrorist activities, or operating from armored vehicles. "We have yet to explore more of the FPV industry. The Khrust program and the doomsday drone are not the only areas of work for the center in the combat use of FPV drones that is new to everyone. We are only starting off in this field," Kuzyakin said.
