AARM Radiation Mapping System for UAV Deployment

The UK Ministry of Defence is procuring the AARM Radiation Mapping System from Kromek Ltd for GBP 44,500, to enable UAV deployment for autonomous airborne radiation monitoring and gamma-spectroscopy based mapping. This established product, in its fourth commercial iteration and previously funded by Sellafield and deployed at Fukushima, integrates radiation and positional sensors for real-time data transmission in hazardous environments. It supports strategic applications such as nuclear site surveys, post-disaster response, and environmental radioactivity monitoring, minimising operator risk in high-dose or inaccessible areas.
