Abstract Objective Developing a low altitude radiation measurement system(LARMS) based on the eight-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) and the homemade GM tube dose rate meter, which is used toquickly carry out radiation measurement andemergency radiation monitoring in a low altitude and small scale area. Methods The LARMS contains a system management software anddatabase built on the cloud server, awireless data module used for data communication,a digital map and global positioning moduleapplied to positioning and data show.The unmanned aerial vehicle used in the system can be controlled by manual operation or controlled by the ground station. Results After testing, the UAV can fly more than 30mins, the dose rate measurement range of the homemade GM tube dose rate meter is 100 nGy/h~10 Gy/h, the positioning accuracy of the LARMS is<10 m when tested by the 137Cs gamma point source, the minimum upload time of the measurement data and the GPS location data is 10s, and the monitoring data information and the location information of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be viewed in real time on the cloud server management and display software. Conclusion Confirmed by the experimental test, the LARMS can be operated flexibly and easily,used and maintained witha low cost in a small scale area for fine radiation measurement.
