Flyability Elios 3 drones get Mirion radiation meters for nuclear sites

Flyability, the Swiss company producing indoor drones for a variety of enterprise and industrial applications, says it will now make radiation detection and measurement meters by Mirion Technologies available aboard its Elios 3 UAVs for customers in nuclear activities.

By integrating Mirion’s RDS-32 survey sensors into its Elios 3 indoor drones, Flyability says it will allow clients in nuclear energy and related services to remotely collect accurate radiation measurements and other data for analysis while obviating the need for human monitors to enter affected areas. The company says that information will be fed live to customers as the UAV is in operation and then be stored for use afterward in post-processing.
