REGIONAL EXPLORATION – LAKE EATON
UAV Magnetics still in development, early results enable improved “picking” of structures
Resolution of magnetic features with UAV magnetics becoming superior than aircraft as:
Drones can carry the
magnetometer much
lower to the ground (15m
to 25m)
No noise from big aircraft
Reduced compensation
for altitude control
UAV detects weak
magnetic anomalies
undetectable with
conventional fixed wing
aircraft
