Let's see what's new in the market
FLIR: FLIR MUVE™C3600
In late September FLIR announced the FLIR MUVE™ C360, the industry’s first multi-gas detector specifically built for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). As the first of its kind, the MUVE C360 has pioneered providing instantaneous readable data on dangerous conditions with its 8-channel sensors. It offers a safer and more comprehensive way to assess a scene and find a safe solution. Before putting the health and safety of response teams at risk, drone pilots will be able to fly the new MUVE C360 into a scene for initial assessment. The MUVE C360 will transform how emergency response teams approach chemical, industrial, or environmental incidents by providing a new level of safety, dramatically reducing time to action, and delivering a more complete assessment in situations where every second counts.
