Autonomous Airborne Radiation Monitoring system

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.

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.

Determining the Source of Stream Toxins with Continuous Monitoring

Determining Stream Toxins with Water Quality and Level Data When researcher Wesley Gerrin gained access to a sediment toxicity lab in the Experimental Forest on the University of Georgia campus, he wanted to investigate an on-campus lake for any potential contamination issues. After his research was completed, he was fortunate enough to have some extra grant funding for the addition of a few samples from any location on campus, so he chose one of the most exciting sites on the University premises: Tanyard Branch. As Wesley said, “We ran the tests, and everything looked good, except for Tanyard Branch.” Tanyard Branch has been one of the most heavily monitored creeks in the Athens-Clarke County area for the last couple of decades due to contamination - it has a long history of abuse beginning in the 1700s. Native Americans long used the area as hunting and fishing grounds, but it was eventually seized by colonists. The people who then settled into the area opened botanical gard...
