SKU:IS-RS-ZOND-AERO-600

by: Radar Systems

Universal ground penetrating radar system for terrestrial and airborne surveys with real-time sampling (RTS) technology and advanced built-in digital signal processing to provide high quality data with an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio.

The Zond Aero 600 NG is a slightly smaller model than the Aero 500 NG. It offers virtually the same data and penetration, but fits between the legs of most popular drones on the market without the need for complicated mounting hardware.

The Zond Aero 600 NG is a truly versatile system that can be used in the most appropriate way for specific survey conditions:

  • on a cart - the most standard method for scanning on the streets or in confined spaces
  • dragged with a tow rope if the load-bearing capacity of the ground surface is not suitable for a wheeled cart
  • on a drone for large open areas without tall obstacles and vegetation

Lightweight GPR system on the market, suitable for medium-sized drones like DJI M400/M350/M300.

The user is responsible for checking the suitability of a given GPR model for use in a particular country.

Please note that additional components and software must be ordered to use this GPR with drones. It is recommended to order a complete set. Please ask for the quote.

Applications

The Zond Aero 600 NG is a truly versatile system that can be used in many applications, including but not limited to:

  • Utility Search
  • Underground infrastructure mapping
  • Archaeology
  • Geotechnical surveys
  • Geological stratigraphy
  • Glaciology, snow/ice thickness profiling
