This radiation detecting drone can map an area of 100’000 m2 in a single flight of 20 minutes. The system is about 50 x more sensitive than typical drone-based detectors.
Flying a tight search pattern, it can map radiation at speeds of 2–20 m/s. Equipped with a large area Flat Panel Gamma (FPG) detector, the system can rapidly find and localize radioactive sources.
This tool is indispensable to prepare for, or react to a reactor accident, locating stolen radioactive sources or inspecting bulk goods for excess radioactivity.
Key Features
Best-in-class performance
- Large area detector (300 cm2) with very high sensitivity
- Unbeatable for large area search missions
- Spectral distinction between artificial sources and Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM)
- LIDAR-based altitude measurement enables precise altitude compensation and ground projection of dose rate
- Minimal power consumption allows 20-minute missions per battery
- Unlike PMT-based systems, SiPM readout unaffected by changing magnetic fields
Ease of operation
- Minimal setup time
- Computer assisted mission planning allows rapid deployment with minimal training
- Mission control software has intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) for flight control, data taking and analysis
- Outdoor and indoor (IP54 or better)
