SWOT Analysis Of Radiological Testing
or radiological testing, it would be hard to determine whether or not this aircraft is up to the task. This will also make it hard to compete with the Penguin C, which has the potential to be used around the world in multi-national response teams.
The verdict of these SWOT analyses is that the most qualified UAS for this application is the Penguin C UAS from UAV Factory. While the V-BAT boasts an incredible top speed and range, it was determined that flight endurance is more important. Simply put, the more time spent on station, the more valuable data can be collected. More data collected for the planning and decision making teams transcribes to better response team coordination, relief efforts, and radiological countermeasures. …show more content…
It is detrimental to point out that in aviation the two most crash prone events are the takeoff and landing, and by completing these safety precautions the likelihood of a mishap occurring is greatly reduced, meaning that the team can take on greater risks with even greater consequences, this can be seen in the chart found on Appendix A.
Regardless of where the mission is conducted, the mitigation strategies put into place will remain the same. Each mission will begin with an itemized checklist that will contain each and every piece of equipment needed for the operation. Everything including the UAS, sensors, ground control stations components, charts, maps, etcetera, will be accounted for. Once this checklist has been completed and all gear and equipment has been accounted for, the next stage will begin, which is the preflight …show more content…
Once the launch area is determined safe, the team will proceed forward and set up the UAS and ground control station for launch. During takeoff, the pilot will make all control inputs while monitoring associated instruments/gauges, while the copilot will be a second set of eyes monitoring all instruments and gauges. The lead sensor operator will ensure that the sensor remains off for the takeoff portion of the mission, this ensures that battery life is preserved. This is also to reduce the chance that the sensor moves around, which could shift the center of gravity (CG) impairing the UAS’s takeoff. The maintenance team will be on standby for any last minute trouble shooting needs, or payload changes. During the takeoff, the team runs the risk of crashing the UAS due to a multitude of reasons. Such an event could cause serious bodily harm and because of this no one will be physically near the
