ELIOS 3 RAD

Payload

Remote Radiation Detection for Safe Surveys

Powered by Mirion Technologies, Elios 3 enables quick and accurate radiation surveying of indoor spaces, ensuring thorough assessments without risking human exposure.

Clear Radiological Insights, Safe Workforce

Identify, locate, and monitor radiological dose fields

Quickly deploy Elios 3 RAD from a convenient area to better understand radiological conditions.

Empower dose planning & decision-making

When planning interventions, estimate the total dose workers will be exposed to and identify hot spots to minimize human exposure.

Reach higher safety standards

Evaluate how much personnel dose exposure was avoided over time by leveraging Elios 3 RAD’s cumulative dose measurement.

FEATURES

Much more than a flying dosimeter, Elios 3 and the RAD payload form a powerful radiation surveying tool.

Convert UT data into actionable insights

Review your data points in post-processing using the Elios 3’s companion software, Inspector 5.

Comprehensive in-flight radiation reading

Post-flight radiation reading, localization, and reporting

Detachable and swappable sensor

Comprehensive in-flight radiation reading

Instant reading. No exposure.

Get an instant reading of current and cumulative dose rate along with max recorded value and measurement history to understand measurement trends and help you find high radiation sources.

Post-flight radiation reading, localization, and reporting

Locating and characterizing hot spots.

While in flight, all measurements captured by the sensor are recorded along with visual and mapping information. In post-processing, the drone’s trajectory is colorized based on the instant dose rate reading, allowing the user to precisely locate radiation sources1 on a 3D map of the asset.

1. The colorization of the drone’s trajectory is indicative and subject to over/under estimation because of the drone speed and convergence time of the sensor. For an accurate measurement, the drone must remain at a given location until the full convergence of the sensor. This procedure should be repeated for each point of interest.

Relying on the most reputable technology.

Critical applications like radiation surveying should not be left to uncertainties. To provide our clients with the most reliable information, we partnered with Mirion Technologies to develop the Elios 3 RAD payload. From µSv/h to Sv/h, we rely on the most reputable technology.

Detachable and swappable sensor

Compatible with your existing sensors.

Comply with sensors’ maintenance and calibration requirements without stopping your operations. Elios 3 is compatible with every RDS-32™ WR sensor you have1, so you can swap them as needed.

1. RDS-32 WR sensors used in conjunction with an Elios 3 should be properly configured according to the recommendations made by Flyability and local legal regulations. Not following this recommendation can impact the quality and reliability of the data captured.

A safe and healthy work environment for your staff is our number one priority.

Over 80% of US nuclear reactors are equipped with Flyability technology.

Up to 6-digit savings in a single flight achieved repeatedly.

Successfully tested up to 10,000 R/H with up to 4,000 R of cumulated dose.

Q&A

What is a Confined Space Drone/UAV?

Most drones commonly used outdoors rely on GPS signals for localisation and stability. However, they face challenges when operating indoors or in confined spaces due to the lack of GPS availability in these environments. In contrast, specialized drones like the Elios 3 are designed for GPS-denied environments, offering reliable localisation and stability without the need for GPS. These drones are specifically engineered to navigate in challenging conditions, such as dark, dusty, and confined spaces.

What if the drone accidentally contacts walls or objects when flying inside the confined space?

The Elios 3 is built for contact during flight, featuring a lightweight carbon-fiber cage that provides impact protection when the drone comes into contact with walls or structures. Additionally, the drone is equipped with bi-directional rotors, enabling it to autonomously flip back into an upright position mid-flight, even if it is toppled.

What if connection between the Remote Control and Drone is lost mid-flight?

The Elios 3 is equipped with a 'Return-to-Signal' (RTS) safety feature that activates automatically if the connection with the remote control is lost. In RTS mode, the drone can autonomously retrace its flight path, returning to the takeoff point or continuing its flight until the connection with the remote control is restored.

How does the Elios 3 generate the 3D map and how is it useful for confined space flying?

The Elios 3 is equipped with an onboard LiDAR module that generates a real-time 3D map or model of the environment it is flying through. This enhances both the pilot’s situational and locational awareness while navigating the drone in confined spaces. The 3D map is also invaluable for identifying and localizing Points of Interest (POIs), such as defects detected during inspection flights. Additionally, the Elios 3 serves as a Scan-to-BIM tool, allowing the 3D model of the space to be used for creating BIM models and performing volumetric measurements.

Can the Elios 3 carry additional payloads?

The Elios 3 is designed with modular payload integration in mind. Currently, available optional payloads include the Radiation Detection Payload, UT Gauging Payload, Surveying Payload, and Flammable Gas Detector Payload. Additional payloads will be introduced progressively to expand its capabilities.
