FLIR MUVE B330
A payload that samples the air while the aircraft flies. The B330 is purpose-designed for unmanned aerial systems to provide real-time continuous monitoring of biological threats while on the move. Teledyne FLIR built it on the IBAC product line's design and performance, in a SWaP-optimized configuration, and puts alarm and collector status straight onto the pilot's Mission Control Station display.
Two air paths, one alarm between them
The B330 does two jobs with two subsystems. The detector samples continuously while the payload is in operation. When it alarms, the integrated collector starts and captures a dry sample on a disk, so the team gets both an early warning from the detector in the air and a sample from the collector to recover.
Detector
Continuous air sampling provides real-time feedback of conditions.
- Technology
- UV Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF)
- Sample phase
- Aerosol; flow rate 4.0 L/min (0.14 ft3/min)
- Threats
- Spores, vegetative bacteria, viruses, and toxins; particle size: 0.7 – 10 microns
- Sensitivity
- <100 particles/L of air
- Sampling
- Continuous sampling when in operation
Integrated collector
Automated sample collection upon alarm indication.
- Sample method
- Dry collection
- Max flow rate
- 30 L/min
- Particle size
- 1 to 10 microns
- Collection media
- Sample Disk
- Power
- 2 watts
Sample recovery
The pilot gets positive confirmation that a sample is being collected; the sample is then recovered from the disk.
- Recovery
- Sample extraction from sample disk in vial with liquid buffer
Alarms land on the MCS piloting interface
Sensor display is provided via the Mission Control Station (MCS) piloting interface. Alarming conditions and collector status are displayed to the pilot, both to alert them to a threat and to confirm that a sample is being collected.
- 01
Assess the scene from a safe distance
- Allows for informed decision making prior to approaching a hazardous scene.
- Locate source of threat and track progression as the scene unfolds.
- 02
Significantly reduce time to action
- Rapidly deploy in a matter of minutes.
- Cover difficult terrain from the air to assess threat.
- Make a quick assessment of the threat perimeter.
- Alarm will initiate upon detection of hazardous conditions.
- 03
Fully integrated situational awareness
- Mission Control Station (MCS) application provides plug-and-play operation of the MUVE B330 payload.
- Visually display threats on the map within MCS using easy to understand pin drops.
- Gather a comprehensive overview of an active scene utilizing visuals and B330 indications.
Where the B330 flies first
Teledyne FLIR names the SkyRanger R70 and the R80D SkyRaider as the platforms for the initial deployment of the B330 payload. Ask us about other airframes.
