HERMES DRONE is a compact, autonomous payload for gamma monitoring and radiological mapping from professional UAVs. Designed for surveys in large, inaccessible or hazardous areas, it combines gamma spectrometry, radionuclide identification and georeferenced dose rate measurements. A modular design supports an optional Geiger-Müller detector for an extended measurement range.
Independent power, processing and communication ensure autonomous operation. Data are synchronized with position and altitude, stored on board during communication outages and transmitted via Wi-Fi or cellular links. A web interface enables acquisition control, live spectra and maps, and post-flight analysis from a PC or tablet.
