The MagDrone R3 is an ultra portable magnetometer to be attached to any UAV with a minimum payload of 1kg.

Recommended applications:

  • Searching for UXO (UneXploded Ordnance)
  • Locating buried infrastructure (metal pipes and shielded cables) and power cables under the load
  • Archaeology
  • Surveying for any metal objects weighing a few hundred grams or heavier lying underground

MagDrone R3 (starting from SN SN000200) has a built-in GPS AND the possibility to connect an external one. Second configuration is recommended to achieve better geotagging of the data, especially when R3 is used with SkyHub onboard computer and RTK-equipped drone.

Note, that general rule with magnetometer when it is necessary to detect artificial objects or artefacts - fly as low as possible. Recommended altitude for the tasks like UXO search - 1m above surface or even lower. That means that drone should be equipped with terrain following system (included in recommended magnetometer bundle).

Recommended drones to carry MagDrone R3: DJI M350 RTK or DJI M300 RTK. 

What's in the set

  • MagDrone R3 magnetometer with 2x triaxial fluxgate magnetic sensors, sensor bar and data recorder
  • MagDrone Data Tool software
  • 11.1 V Li-Ion re-chargeable battery battery and wall charger (when used with SkyHub, power is provided from the drone)
  • USB cable to connect MagDrone R3 to Windows computer
  • Cable to connect MagDrone R3 to GPS-out interface of SkyHub
  • Mounting plate and screws (used with provided Li-Ion battery)
  • Set of international power plugs
  • Manual
  • Transport hard case 

UXO/landmines detection note

The system is capable to detect a range of items starting from hand grenades (the estimated sensor-target distance for detecting an object such as the F1 hand grenade is 0.5 m) till big UXO like aerial bombs at the distance of few meters.

While magnetometers can detect some types of landmines (for example M15, M6, TM-62M anti-tank mines; M16, PROM-1, OZM-3, OZM-4, OZM-72 anti-personnel mines and similar types with considerable amounts of ferrous metal), landmines search is not a direct application of magnetometers as they can’t detect most types of modern landmines. That means that the system never should be used to confirm absence of landmines (and small ordnance) in certain area but it can be valuable asset during Non-Technical Survey (NTS) or Technical Survey (TS) to confirm presence of UXO/landmines with considerable amount of ferrous metals.
