Application Research of UAV-based Aerial Gamma Energy Spectrum Survey System in Geological Exploration

Abstract

A novel application for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aviation gamma energy spectrum survey system is introduced, representing an innovative concept within the "UAV+" framework. This proposal emerges from a critical analysis of the limitations inherent in traditional geological survey methods, particularly from the perspective of geophysical prospecting. The UAV low-altitude aerial gamma measurement (ULAGM) system integrates a UAV, a nuclear radiation measurement apparatus, and a ground control center. The system boasts a resolution of 7.40%, and it can detect gamma rays within the energy range of 15 keV to 3.0 MeV. Furthermore, the measurement results obtained from this system are comparable to those of conventional ground surveys. Consequently, the ULAGM system is fully capable of satisfying the stringent demands of geological exploration and the quality assurance standards required for environmental gamma radiation monitoring.
