MagNIMBUS

Ultra-sensitive airborne integrated magnetometer system powered by QuSpin QTFM Gen-2 atomic total-field magnetometer sensors

Typical applications are:

• Searching for UXO (unexploded ordnance) and landmines in metallic casings
• Tramp metals and lost GET (ground engagement tools) detection
• Locating buried infrastructure (metal pipes and shielded cables)
• Environmental surveys for abandoned wells, pipes, and storage tanks quickly and with precise positioning
• Geology and minerals prospecting: surveys for regional variations in the magnetic field
• Archaeology

Unique system design allows to fly with extremely low surface-to-sensor clearance starting from just couple of dozens of centimeters. If the sensor will touch the ground or obstacle/vegetation that will not lead to the drone crash. That capability is extremely important for searching for small UXO items over the 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.
