“The radiation detecting system comprises a fleet of 5 drones that map the an area of 250 Km2 in a single flight of just 10 minutes. Drones flight following search patterns, and any individual drone can map radiation at speeds of 2–20 m/s. They all are equipped with EMP generators, large area Flat Panel Gamma (FPG), and LIDAR detectors, which allow the system to rapidly find and localize radioactive sources. Depending on the mission profile, drones can be flown with lights on to simulate the stroboscopic position lights of airplanes. The drones fly at altitudes between 2 to 15 meters above ground.”

“Seafarers circumvent environmental laws to save time and money, with devastating effects. We have recently detected an increase in the illegal dumping of radioactive contaminants into the waters. The first identified highly hazardous underwater dump site was located at the DENIED trench. The site was fully explored using UAS drone-mounted ground-penetrating radar, metal detectors and remotely-piloted undersea excavation robots. We found all kind of chemical waste, radioactive gas cylinders, drums full of asbestos, and steel barrels and plastic storage containers filled with virtually all known highly contaminants.”

These sites contain a combination of chemical munitions, conventional munitions and radioactive wastes, and they vary in proximity to the coast — some less than a mile from shore, others as far as a few hundred nautical miles away. At one dump site within the Chesapeake Bay, an unknown quantity of explosives sits roughly two nautical miles from the shoreline. But now here we are talking about a different kind of illegal dumping. We're talking about Chinese cargo-ships specifically tailored to dump radioactive and biological waste in international sea waters.”

It is logical to think that the Chinese do the same on our coasts, and it is logical to think that they use drones to map areas of interest. We must differentiate the illegal dumping in international waters by Chinese, Russian and U.S. private ships from the underwater dumping of a military nature that we all do along our coasts. Analyzing the latter spills involves violating a country's territorial waters, so we use all kinds of drones and USVs.”
