ImiTec, Drone Ops Ltd Announce Partnership

News Image
ImiTec Limited and Drone Ops Limited have announced a new agreement for the provision of Small Unmanned Aerial Systems services.

Droneops will be supporting ImiTec in the finals of the $1m United Arab Emirates' Drone for Good competition which will be held in Dubai, 4 – 6 February, 2016.

ImiTec's patented UAV-based Advanced Autonomous Radiation Monitoring system can deliver low-altitude aerial meter resolution maps of radiation, including over high dose areas and inaccessible locations, while minimising the risk of operator exposure.

It differs from current radiation detection systems in that in near real time, it locates, measures and maps radioactivity and the isotopes present. As a result, it speeds and improves the efficiency of radiation detection and decision making. It can be tailored to succeed at a range of tasks involving radioactive materials, including routine monitoring within nuclear sites throughout the life cycle, responding to nuclear accidents or incidents, and routine monitoring of the environment.

The device will also be used to monitor landfill sites, import and exported goods, mining, oil and gas activity, as well as the use within combat environments. Drone and sensors are matched to reduction human risk in this case from radiation emissions.

Chris Abbott, CEO, ImiTec, said: "Crucial to the successful operation of the Advanced Autonomous Radiation Monitoring system is a reliable UAV designed to meet the high standards demanded by the regulatory authorities to ensure safe operations over nuclear licensed sites. Establishing a close collaboration with a specialist UAV company such as Droneops will ensure that we are able to offer state of the art UAVs to our clients that meet these high standards."

Dominic Kelly, Director, Drone Ops, added: "We see this as a great opportunity to demonstrate how Drone Ops Ltd can work as an integrator of third party sensor technology. Collaboration with IMITEC has involved close cooperation between the technicians of both organisations to ensure the two systems work in harmony. The result is a radiological sensor with extended capabilities for End Users across many different theatres of operations."

In addition to the above, Justin Pringle, CTO, Drone Ops, will present at Skytech on 27 January, where he will, among other issues, be discussing the UK 'Drones For Good' competition entry.

ImiTec is a University of Bristol spin-out company, established in 2014, which specialises in the development and manufacture of novel methods for mapping radiation.

Drone Ops Ltd is based in Newcastle, and is a disruptive innovation business specialising in the commercial application of Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (SUAS) and robotics.
