GPR system: Radar Systems Zond Aero LF (low frequency)

SKU IS-RS-ZOND-AERO-LF

Extra-lightweight GPR system, suitable for medium-sized drones like DJI M300/M350 RTK.

Zond Aero LF is extremely customizable GPR system in terms of available frequencies, it was tested with antennas in the range 50...400MHz making it most versatile system in our portfolio. By default, it comes with 3x sets of dipoles for the 300, 150, and 100 MHz. Dipoles for other frequencies are available by request OR you can even cut supplied dipoles to get required center frequency for your GPR!

Example of 50MHz dipoles set for maximum penetration.

Utilizes Real Time Sampling (RTS) with high hardware stacking, delivering high-resolution low-noise data.

Includes a transportation box and mountings for the DJI M300/M350 RTK drone. Mounts for other types of drones are available upon request.

HS Code: 90158020 (meteorological, hydrological, geophysical instrument)

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