Complete UAV radiation mapping drone system
US Nuclear UAV radiation mapping drone offers an accurate, affordable and versatile low-altitude aerial radiation detection vehicle which is an out of the box solution for anyone that needs to examine an area or patrol a location for radiation levels or contamination. The system gives you real-time location, measurement and mapping of radioactivity with isotope identification.
UAV radiation and mapping drone: what do you get
1. Aerial unmanned drone
A Small Unmanned Aircraft System (SUAS) with an all up weight less than 7.0 kg. This low total mass, coupled with the in-built redundancy of the aerial system represents a low risk of structural damage to buildings and the environment during its operation. This is in line with UK CAA guidelines.
The drone has a number of supporting sensor: positioning fixing (Latitude and Longitude) by multi GNSS (GPS and Glonass), number of satellites and height above mean sea level (AMSL); temperature, humidity and pressure; embedded real-time clock providing time/date fix (GSM and GNSS available as back up); laser ranging to determine height above the surface being monitored to ~1mm over 100m.
2. Radiation detector unit and payload bay
Sensors and micro-controller including battery all enclosed within one container mounted on a universal gimbal. Multiple gamma spectrometers can be connected to one unit and work simultaneously.
3. Gamma spectroscopy and mapping software
10Hz snapshot rate of units data providing high resolution at speed, count per second (CPS) and spectral data transmitted simultaneously every 1 second.
Data in mapping application includes CPS over time; energy spectrum; CPS and location; dose estimation; isotope characterization.
4. Flight training and set-up
The UAV training course covers learning to fly, mission planning, use of software and other operational concepts.
