First responders have prepared and will need to prepare for and respond to radiation emergencies. Both pre- paredness and response activities require measuring radiation levels, often over large areas. Preparedness activities will largely focus on mapping low-level background radiation; however, responses could potentially expose personnel to elevated or dangerous levels of radiation and/or contamination.

To reduce potential responder exposures and the resource burden of collecting measurements, first responders are interested in using unmanned systems (UxSs) for radiation detection. UxSs are useful for some aspects of a response, and some combinations of UxSs and radiation detectors are better suited than others for various missions and environments. This report and the use-case appendixes provide example missions and system types that first responders may encounter or choose to deploy for measuring radiation levels during preparedness and/or response activities.
