3 Elios 2 RAD
Elios 2 RAD is a specially modified Elios 2 designed to carry a dosimetry detector module. Apart from the
mounting bracket for the detector module, and the modified casing with a connector, all user changeable
parts are compatible with a standard Elios 2. There is no significant change in flight behavior and collision
resilience, though flight time is reduced slightly due to the added weight of the sensor module.
4 ELIOS 2 RAD detector module
This module allows Elios 2 RAD to measure ambient radiation. At its core, the sensor module has an
energy-compensated Geiger-Müller tube capable of detecting Cs137 and Co60.
The sensor module is removable for calibration but can only be installed on the specially modified Elios 2
RAD drone. To remove the sensor, undo the straps that hold it in place, and disconnect the cable that plugs
into the body of the drone.
The detector unit should not be installed or removed while the drone is powered (battery connected). In
case a disconnection is detected, Cockpit will show a warning: “Sensor error - restart your aircraft”. In this
case, the measurement of the flight shall be discarded.
Elios 2 RAD is shipped with one LOW dose detector model.
