Radiation detection system GAMON-Drone

mobile

GAMON-Drone is a compact and light weight spectrometer specifically designed for UAV environmental radiation protection, inspection, and site remediation after the dispersion of radiological or nuclear material. The system can be used as a measurement device for first responders for the exploration of hazardous areas. GAMON-Drone system is designed to offer the best combination of portability, low power consumption and performance. The unit is assembled in a lightweight enclosure that contains both the Scintillator Detector and the Digital Signal Processing Electronics. GAMON-Drone is provided with the RadHawk UAV platform and uses the radio communication link of the drone to send real time data to its ground station. The radio communication range is 12 km in open line of sight. RadHawk UAV can provide 40 min continuous survey with the provided battery pack. GAMON-Drone can identify gamma-emitting radionuclides and differentiate them based on the category they belong to, distinguishing between NORM, medical and industrial. GAMON-Drone runs spectrum analysis algorithms that can perform simultaneous identification of multiple radiological sources and provides quantitative measurements in terms of dose and activity per radionuclide with its built-in detector efficiency calibration. The user can select the isotopes to be identified from the library and adjust the thresholds of the isotope related alarms. The spectrum stabilization can be obtained with the identification of natural occurring radionuclides as the 40K. The gamma spectrometer is composed by an inorganic scintillation crystal. The system integrates inorganic scintillator with of configurable volume.
