Methods & Capabilities

Fixed-wing UAV flying a survey grid over a magnetic anomaly map draped on terrain

We mount triaxial cesium-vapor and fluxgate magnetometer payloads on custom electromagnetically isolated hexacopter frames. Active motor noise compensation enables sub-nanotesla sensitivity at low flight altitudes — delivering data quality that rivals traditional helicopter sweeps at a fraction of the cost.

Key Advantages

01

Sub-Nanotesla Precision

Isolate geological anomalies at 0.1 nT sensitivity with real-time base station diurnal corrections.

02

Zero Line Cutting

Autonomous flight grids completely bypass the environmental footprint and cost of ground grid clearance.

03

Rapid Turnaround

Cover 200+ line-km daily with automated GIS-ready datasets within 48 hours.

Applications

Primary Deployments

  • Mineral exploration targeting beneath heavy overburden
  • Buried unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection & dipole classification
  • Fault, shear zone, and contact structural mapping
  • Archaeological foundation & buried feature mapping
  • Pipeline and buried utility corridor tracing
