Overview
The MagDrone R1 is an ultra-portable magnetometer to be attached to any UAV with a minimum payload of 1kg.
Unique system design allows for flying with extremely low surface-to-sensor clearance starting from just a couple of dozen centimeters. If the sensor touches the ground or obstacle/vegetation that will not lead to the drone’s crash. That capability is extremely important for searching for small UXO items over fields with vegetation.
Self-foldable sensor mount allows easy take-off and landing without excess requirements for drone operator qualification, as it is for magnetic sensors on suspension cords.
Note that the general rule with a magnetometer, when it is necessary to detect artificial objects or artefacts – fly as low as possible. Recommended altitude for tasks like UXO search – 1m abovethe surface or even lower. That means that the drone should be equipped with a terrain following system (included in the recommended magnetometer bundle).
Recommended software for data processing
- for in-field and quick processing: GeoHammer Pro
- for large-scale projects and complex processing: Geosoft Oasis montaj
UXO/landmines detection note
The system is capable of detecting a range of items, starting from hand grenades (the estimated sensor-target distance for detecting an object such as the F1 hand grenade is 0.5 m) till big UXO like aerial bombs at distances of a few meters.
While magnetometers can detect some types of landmines (for example, M15, M6, TM-62M anti-tank mines; M16, PROM-1, OZM-3, OZM-4, OZM-72 anti-personnel mines, and similar types with considerable amounts of ferrous metal), landmine search is not a direct application of magnetometers, as they can’t detect most types of modern landmines. That means that the system should be used to confirm the absence of landmines (and small ordnance) in certain area but it can be a valuable asset during Non-Technical Survey (NTS) or Technical Survey (TS) to confirmthe presence of UXO/landmines with a considerable amount of ferrous metals.
MagDrone R1 doesn’t have an internal data recorder and requires SkyHub with datalogging software. Please ask for the quote for a full set of required items and software.
