New radiation mapping drone specification
Drone manufacturers regularly bring out new models and upgrade to their existing models. Our drone experts look at what is happening in the market to look for the UAV drone that works best with our radiation devices and software.
The Tarot 650 V2.1 UAV is our new drone
The TAROT comes with FPV System With Hex Herelink.
It features 20km range, high definition Action Camera, controller, FPV monitor & laptop ground station all in one easy to use device with a spare battery, spare propellers and travel case.

Pixhawk flight controller for autonomous flight
With the Pixhawk flight controller system, the operator can program waypoints and flight plans into the drone before takeoff. The Pixhawk flight controller features manual flying modes, stabilise mode, and a (fail-safe function) return to home mode in addition to the autonomous mode. The drone can be piloted with the included controller when flying manually or via a laptop or tablet utilising the Mission Planner software when flying autonomously.
Easy to transport
The Tarot 650 features a foldable design, allowing it to be folded with ease in a matter of seconds. The design allows the landing gear to be folded away, and the arms to be folded inward to considerably reduce the size for easy transport.

Radiation detection distances
A UAV drone allows the operator to fly the drone at the optimal height to the radiation source.
If the radiation is very high on the ground, you fly higher to stop the detector saturating. The laser ranging system which automatically corrects the dose to 1m above the ground.
The drones typically use the Sigma CsI(Tl) thallium activated caesium iodide scintillator radiation detector and/or the GR1 CZT-based gamma-ray detector spectrometer.
The drone can also be fitted with a TN15 thermal neutron detector.
