AEROMAGNETIC SURVEY COMPLEX

The aeromagnetic complex based on an unmanned aerial vehicle and a quantum magnetometer with a rubidium magnetically sensitive sensor, combines maneuverability of an unmanned aerial vehicle with high sensitivity magnetometric equipment.
The system enables high-precision aeromagnetic surveys at extremely low altitudes, both in flat terrain and in difficult landscape conditions with active terrain following.
Application of the complex offers an opportunity of a volumetric study of the magnetic field by means of high-altitude surveys and vertical profile shooting. This enables applying new methods of magnetometry data analysis and interpretation which increase reliability of volumetric geomagnetic models.
The greatest effect from technology application is expected when studying medium-sized areas (tens, first hundreds of square kilometers), where manned aircrafts are unprofitable and ground-based measurements are highly labor-intensive or completely impossible due to rugged topography.
