How it works

How a drone magnetic survey works

Fly tight lines
01Aircraft

Fly tight lines

A drone flies the magnetometer low and steady along close, parallel survey lines.

Measure the field
02Sensor

Measure the field

The magnetometer measures the magnetic field at many points across the area, usually in nanotesla (nT).

Find the anomalies
03Software & deliverables

Find the anomalies

Logged data with position is processed into maps that show where the field differs from the average, which often points to magnetic objects below.

Applications

More about Magnetometer

What is a Magnetometer

A magnetic field is the area around a magnet, magnetic object, or an electric charge in which magnetic force is exerted. Earth behaves like a giant magnet.

The two primary characteristics of magnetic fields are their strength (referred to as magnetic flux density or magnetic induction) and direction.

A magnetometer is a device that measures the magnetic field at a point where it is.

Types of Magnetometers

  • Scalar Magnetometers
    Measure only the strength of the magnetic field.
  • Vector Magnetometers
    ‍    Measure both the strength and direction of the magnetic field.

 

How it works

By measuring the magnetic field at multiple points across a search area and analyzing the data, magnetometers can identify anomalies where the magnetic field differs from the average level. These anomalies often indicate the presence of magnetic objects hidden beneath the surface.

The most common measurement unit for the magnetic flux density (or magnetic induction) is nanotesla (nT). It’s what you will get in the results of measurements, magnetometer data files, etc
