Area Mapping – radiation detection and identification with the D3S Drone!

The D3S Drone radiation detector is designed for gamma and neutron activity mapping

The D3S drone is easily carried, compact and quickly deployed to provide CBRNe Homeland Security or civil nuclear inspection. The D3S Drone is able to map radiation hotspots and patrol a large area quickly. The operator receives the real-time data transmission (counts per second) to a six-inch screen separate to the drone flight control screen. Its range is 10+ km.

Scope

• routine monitoring / nuclear sites / facilities / strategic sites.
• area surveying & monitoring / mine sites;
• CBRNe / defence patrol / border / event / infrastructure protection;

• emergency response / terror incidents / nuclear incidents
• health physics.

Safety first

The use of a drone means that you keep your team away from an contaminated area. The drone quickly covers a large area that may be inaccessible to people or where it is dangerous. That makes the D3S Drone a very safe application.
