Aerial Radiation Detection

 In this time of multiple threats to our security: dirty bomb; cyber; shooters in public places; homemade bombs; misinformation; etc. we feel extremely vulnerable; perhaps more vulnerable than ever before.

Arial Radiation Detection

With the advent of Drone technology now available to private citizens, the technology previously only held by the military, the opportunity has come to merge Drone Technology with aerial sensors. UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) mounted aerial sensors are typically: thermal, radar, camera, and surveillance, to monitor the environment for threats and for filming, now airborne radiation and chemical threats can be detected.
The DroneSensor systems. Radiation detection instruments mounted on the DroneRAD and the DroneCHEM for aerial radiation and chemical detection, surveillance, and locating. Technical Associates, a division of US Nuclear Corp, provides sensors for both airborne radiation and for the search and locating of radioactive materials: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Neutron. Gas filter sample collection for chlorine, biological particulates, and aerosols such as anthrax and nerve gas is also available via the DroneRAD.
Technical Associates with partner FlyCam UAV provide the DroneSensor Detector System: Rugged, all-weather, heavy lift UAVs with controllers and hardshell case, radiation, chemical with real-time wireless data download and bacterial samplers; the software and readout technology and ground station; and optional flight and software training.
Nuclear radiation sensor instrumentation suitable for Drone application is new to the market place. The DroneSensor System has a widely diverse application and includes conducting Gamma and/or Neutron Radiation Surveys of the ground, buildings, and vehicles, Uranium Surveys of landfills and K-40; Background Radiation Surveys for construction and development, and Airborne Hazards with the DroneRAD and surveillance of gas and oil pipelines for leaks of hazardous gases with the DroneCHEM.
TheDroneSensor system is versatile and has an approximate launch time of five minutes.

WHY USE AGRICULTURE DRONES? MAIN BENEFITS AND BEST PRACTICES

How drone technology works To gain a better understanding of drones use in agriculture, let’s take a closer look at drone technology. Typically, a drone construction includes propulsion and navigation systems, GPS, sensors and cameras, programmable controllers as well as equipment for automated flights. The technology used for UAV drones for agriculture are built in a way that enables them to capture more accurate information than airplanes and satellites are capable of collecting. Drone-based aggrotech software processes the collected data and delivers it in an easy-to-read format.  All in all, the data collection process in the case of agriculture drones includes four logical steps: 1. Indicating flight parameters:  Outlining and evaluating the surveillance area and uploading GPS info into the drone navigation system. 2. Autonomous flights:  A UAV drone carries out a flight pattern according to the pre-established parameters and collects the required data. 3. Data uploa...

Safety Through Aerial Robotics

The   DroneSensor   Series utilizes all-weather commercial heavy-lift UAVs with industrial-grade material designed for ease of use and quick deployment for radiation and chemical detection. The all-carbon-fiber frame construction gives the copter strength while making it incredibly lightweight. These UAVs are manufactured in a   NATO   country thus satisfying various U.S. government agencies’ security concerns. The commercial-grade brushless motors are highly efficient robust and offer hundreds of hours of worry-free flying. The  DroneRad  NEO is an octocopter with eight engines for redundancy and the ZOE quadcopter both have a folding frame for easy transporting. Other features include GPS position hold, automatic return to home, intelligent flight modes, and optional waypoint capability. All components are housed in a weatherproof canopy and both UVs are capable of flying in wind, rain, and snow. Wireless video downlink and flight telemetry overlay provid...

NGM 202L™ (Gas Monitor)

The NGM 202L monitor continuously measures the volumetric activity of noble gas and tritium in a radioactive effluent gaseous samples. FEATURES: Dynamic gamma radiation compensation Compact and reliable Minimum periodic maintenance DESCRIPTION: The NGM 202L monitor forms part of the RAMSYS™ product line. It has been developed to continuously sample the volumetric activity of noble gas and tritium in a radioactive effluent gaseous sample. This monitor can operate as a stand alone device or in conjunction with a particulate monitor (ABPM 201™ monitor), iodine monitor (IM 201™ monitor) and with a high range noble gas monitor (NGM 203™ monitor) to form a very wide range monitoring system.
