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 500 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 M350/M300 RTK.

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

FCC Code: 2AUQQ-AERO500NG

IC Code: 25515-AERO500NG

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.
