Abstract: |
The work aims to design a fixed-wing UAV equipped with GM counter tube for the monitoring of high-altitude long-range environmental nuclear radiation dose rate, in order to overcome the limitations of traditional environmental nuclear radiation monitoring. The hardware of the detector was designed with Arduino MCU featured by simple programming and strong development. At the same time, the powerful VISA communication module of LabVIEW was used to design the ground station. Finally, the Pixhack was used to stably and reliably control the UAV. The proposed system ground station had a simple operation interface and intuitive measurement data chart. The detector had a good counting response to the radioactive source. Pixhack had good stability and control for the flight platform. With the aid of the GM counter tube as a radiation detector probe, the system can complete the high-altitude remote radiation monitoring task, and still has a large expansion space in terms of structural design, which can satisfy the daily environmental nuclear radiation background dose rate survey and nuclear emergency, large-scale radiation monitoring, remote radiation monitoring and other tasks. |
