Airborne Laser Induced Fluorescence Imaging
This technology consists of an airborne system using laser-induced fluorescence techniques for the detection of uranium, heavy metals, organic compounds, and vegetation stress due to uptake of contaminants.
No image. Developers:
•  US DOE, Special Technologies Laboratory, Santa Barbara, CA
Applications:
•  Airborne instrument for surveying land, facility exteriors, and vegetation over large geographic areas for contaminants.
Benefits:
•  Allows aerial surveys for uranium on land surfaces and facility exteriors costing much less than personnel walking and taking samples
Status:
•  Demonstrated at Fort Rucker, Alabama, October 1997
