Abstract

Purpose. This research focuses on analyzing the feasibility of developing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) specifically designed for measuring radiation levels. Such a UAV would enhance safety and provide essential data in scenarios where human presence is either impossible or hazardous. Design / Method / Approach. The study utilized a combination of technical analysis of drone components and the modeling of the UAV’s design. Various elements, including battery capacity, weight distribution, sensor integration, were evaluated to determine their suitability for assembling a radiation-monitoring drone. Findings. Through detailed analysis of existing drone components, the potential for creating a specialized UAV for radiation detection was assessed. Key findings indicate that current technologies can support the development of a drone capable of accurately measuring and transmitting radiation data in real time. Theoretical Implications. A theoretical model of the drone was developed, aimed at enhancing the collection and processing of radiation data. This could have significant implications for future scientific research in automated environmental monitoring, particularly in high-risk areas Practical Implications. The development of such a UAV is essential for ensuring radiation safety, as well as for routine monitoring of radiation levels in testing grounds, industrial zones, and other environmentally sensitive locations. It would improve response times and reduce risks to human health. Originality / Value. This article offers an innovative approach by integrating automated data collection technologies into UAVs, significantly increasing the efficiency and scope of radiation monitoring, especially in areas that are difficult or dangerous for human access. Research Limitations / Future Research. The study's limitations involve the specific sensor models used, which may not be universally applicable to all potential UAV configurations. Further research will explore alternative technologies. Paper Type. Applied Research.
