Do you need a radiation detector for your drone, UAV or remote control vehicle?
Caesium iodide scintillator gamma radiation detector for use in the field and in the lab.
Do you need a radiation detector for your drone, UAV or remote control vehicle?
We make a range of radiation detectors that are perfect for use on drones. Our gamma and neutron radiation detectors and spectrometers are light, very sensitive with low power requirements. We offer both include scintillation based detectors and CZT-based detectors.
Using uncrewed vehicles to detect and map radiation has a host of advantages:
But you need to choose the right radiation detectors for your drone.
If you are looking for a radiation detector for your drone you need to balance sensitivity, power use and weight. We make a number of radiation detectors that are perfect for drones (either flying UAVs or ground vehicles). Our gamma and neutron detectors have a high-sensitivity but are low weight, small in size, have low power requirements and can operate without cooling. This means that they have a minimum impact on UAV performance both in terms of flying time and aerodynamics.
All our detectors can be used with our gamma spectroscopy software to give you detailed gamma radiation readings and isotope identification.
We have helped a number of clients fit our detector to their drones. Flying drones are a popular choice but our detectors can also be fitted to wheeled or tracked autonomous vehicles. The video on the right shows Bristol University’s radiation mapping drone in action.
Our team of experts can work with you to provide software drivers and help in mounting the detectors.
Our detectors have been used on drones to map areas of radioactivity all over the world including Fukushima, Sellafield, old lead mines in Cornwall, Chernobyl, military sites and lots more.
