In a first-of-its kind implementation, H3D’s M400iC is now part of a fully autonomous UAV system that can search, locate, map, and image radiation from the air with the touch of a button. Thanks to H3D’s work with Draper, the M400iC is now integrated into their autonomous software and seamlessly integrated with TAK/ATAK . Our October photo of the month highlights this collaboration, showing a radiation image from 25m above ground level of a Cs-137 source in a vehicle. The UAV used Draper’s autonomous software to fly in a grid pattern until it found a spot with an elevated count rate. Then, it hovered to make a radiation image of the precise source location, which took only 30 seconds--all without any intervention from the user once launched.

H3D Radiation Imager Collaboration with the RhIsotope Project

This World Rhino Day, H3D would like to share one of our radiation images from our collaboration with local partner Thortech and The Rhisotope Project, a unique anti-poaching program to deter trafficking of rhinoceros horns.

Radiation images collected during deployment highlight how radiation imaging bridges the gap between laboratory tools and conservation work. When aligned with high‑resolution optical images, the radiation localizations provide situational awareness for operators in the field. The ability to “see” radiation in context helps ensure the isotopic marker is both secure and easily identifiable if the horn is trafficked across borders.

Check back next week for our article with more information on this exciting collaboration!

Radiation can be challenging to localize when in complex environments, especially when using conventional handheld radiation detectors to manually scan areas of interest.

Having a portable radiation imager simplifies the process: they typically require only 1-2 measurements to locate the position of the source, without the need for operators to enter potentially hazardous spaces. In the case of our photo of the month, an H3D H420 gamma imaging spectrometer was used to identify that one of the hottest spots at an industrial site was a pile of innocuous garbage bags filled with objects that were contaminated with Ra-226.

Following last month's photo of the experimental drone, take a look at our July photo, which shows an experimental method of drone-based radiation imaging.

You might have seen other photos we've shared of H3D's radiation imaging from drones, which looks a lot like the same images from our other radiation imaging spectrometers. This is great for fast results in the field, but since H3D is always looking to add more capabilities to our products, we are also experimenting with other real-time and post-processed results.

This photo shows all of the radiation sources measured during the drone's flight. Radiation images were made from M400iC data using a maximum likelihood reconstruction with a total variation penalty. These were continuously imported into Google Earth, which knew the drone's position based on GPS information from a GNSS/INS antenna.

There were three boxes: one with Cs-137, one with Co-60 and Ba-133, and one empty box. The measurement was completed in under 7 minutes, with a drone height of about 5 m.

Here’s a sneak peek at one of our latest R&D collaboration efforts for June’s Photo of the Month. This new style of UAV is perfect for mounting the M400iC and imaging radiation from high above the ground. The M400iC can be integrated onto any drone that can support its 1 kg, and does not require GPS to localize radiation.

Stop by H3D’s booth (Hall 5A, GH300) at Eurosatory to learn more!
