US Department of Homeland Security Awards Charles River Analytics Contract to Detect Nuclear Threats with Drones

Charles River Analytics was awarded a ~$1M multi-phase contract from the US Department of Homeland Security to develop a system for Monitoring and Inspecting Dirty Nukes Including Generating Heat Maps of Terrain (MIDNIGHT). MIDNIGHT will enable multiple coordinated uncrewed aircraft to survey, detect, and localize nuclear threats in challenging and dynamic public spaces.

Charles River has successfully developed numerous mature field-tested autonomous navigation technologies across multiple domains that keep human operators out of harm’s way.
