By integrating the Mirion RDS-32™ Radiation Survey Meter into Flyability’s Elios 3, this new solution will allow users to map their environment while collecting localizing radiation data on high-resolution 3D models of their assets. increase.
This integration makes Elios 3 the first commercially available drone capable of remote controlled indoor radiation surveying and localization. This provides nuclear personnel with a safe way to collect data without entering an irradiation area.
“This partnership between two market leaders is an important step towards specializing Elios 3 to provide complete solutions for our key markets,” said Flyability CEO Patrick Tevos. . “Many months of field testing at nuclear facilities have proven that this product will make a significant contribution to our mission to improve safety through robotics.”
This integration includes new widgets for Cockpit, the pilot app for Elios 3, with current dose rates to characterize radiation sources, cumulative doses to enable radiation planning, measurements to visualize measurement trends and searches. Provides pilots with live sensor readings featuring history. For higher radiation sources. Additionally, the live map has been upgraded to color-code the drone’s trajectory based on recorded radiation levels.
Each flight can be reviewed and reported using Inspector, Flyability’s data processing software. Radiation data is displayed on a 3D map of the asset showing the drone’s trajectory, radiation levels along the flight path, cumulative dose for selected portions of the flight, and specific dose rates measured at points of interest.
“By combining the confident and accurate measurements of our RDS-32 survey meter with the accessibility of the Elios 3 drone, we have taken safety to the next level for nuclear operators,” said Loic, President of Million Technologies Group. Eloy says. “We are proud to strengthen this partnership with FlyAbility and our commitment to improving radiation safety through innovation.”
The integration has undergone rigorous testing at nuclear facilities in the United States and Europe and has been used by radiation protection professionals and UAS program managers to perform tasks such as monitoring hydraulic leaks and measuring dose rates. Additionally, the Elios 3 has been tested for radiation tolerance in projects with the DOE and the Idaho Environmental Coalition (IEC). Elios 3 has demonstrated resistance to radiation up to 10,000 R/h and a cumulative dose of 4,000 R.
