Description

Sensys MagDrone R4 - Magnetometer for Drone

MagDroneR4 is an ultra-portable magnetometer sensing kit. It is made for surveys of large areas whenever ground surveys by men or vehicles are no longer possible. (UAV)

Unlike the R3, the MagDroneR4 is used for high-resolution mapping to detect small, compact objects and structures in the ground, such as bombs, munitions, or elements of past settlements. A sensor distance of 50 cm over a distance of 2.5 m allows a surface yield of 3 to 4 hectares per hour. Other solutions are available upon request!

Applications

The MagDroneR4 survey kit can be used for general surveys, magnetic mapping of scientific interest, mineral exploration, as well as security-relevant operations such as scanning areas for bombs and munitions, preventive control and surveillance of areas and fields against intrusion.

Looking for UXO (Unexploded Ordnance)
Archaeology
Search for any metal objects weighing a few hundred grams or more lying underground
Search for substructures

Note that the general rule with the magnetometer when it is necessary to detect man-made objects or artifacts is to fly as low as possible. Recommended altitude for activities such as UXO research: 1 m above the surface or less. This means that the drone must be equipped with a terrain monitoring system (included in the recommended magnetometer package).

How it works

The operation of the MagDroneR3 is simple to use. It comes with a single button and a built-in server that can be accessed from any WIFI device, such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop. This helps simplify setup, configuration, system control, as well as remote start/stop of recordings and data downloading.

The MagDrone data tool helps to identify the flown tracks, trim, filter and compensate the raw data, generates a preview and exports to various formats to further process the recorded values, such as using MAGNETO® software, GIS tools or Matlab with its own scripting.

MagDrone series: filters out noise

With a sampling rate of 200 Hz, the MagDrone series can easily filter out noise from network frequencies, infrastructure or UAV/drone engines. Therefore, MagDrone devices can be installed directly on the landing gear of the drone to enable a very compact configuration

MagBase – Magnetometer Data

Together with the SENSYS MagBase instrument serving as a reference station, data from the drone-based magnetometer can be correlated with those from the MagBase. This will allow the cancellation of temporary noise sources such as crossing vehicles or net frequencies.
