Abstract
A theoretical model for source detect ability at various distances was created and experiments with a 12.8 ml CeBr3 detector mounted under a DJI Phantom 4 as well as a 350 ml CsI detector mounted under a DJI Matrice 600 pro were performed. It was concluded that detecting a 1.3 MBq source is possible, as well as locating it, although the GPS error limited the precision to several meters. It was also found that the sensitivity of the detector decreases when the fly speed increases and that a combination of count rate and peak area counts give the best change for detecting a source.
