Penguin C is being tailored to monitor the fallout from disasters at nuclear powerplants

Most recently, the Penguin C UAV from UAV Factory has been acquired by company Clear Pulse, to be used in the event of a disaster. In such a situation, the fixed-wing UAV will perform airborne radiological surveys to detect, study and map the radiation levels. These flights will then give a better idea than before about the safety and evacuation decisions needed. Clear Pulse manufactures radiation measurement products, and its contract with UAV Factory, signed in 2018, covers delivery and various follow-up support services for the Penguin C and its ancillary equipment.
