Geometrics MagArrow UAS Deployable Magnetometer
Geometrics MagArrow UAS Deployable Magnetometer
For simplicity in the field, the MagArrow has no external connections, instead containing the GPS, WiFi, and memory on board. Battery packs are hot swappable. All operations are accessed through the web-browser interface. Internal IMU sensors allow for a complete suite of data compensation algorithms to be applied, if desired, to remove platform-induced field variations.
Survey large areas of inaccessible terrain 10x faster than a typical magnetic survey
The MagArrow by Geometrics is our first ever UAS deployable magnetometer, and it sets a new standard for UAS magnetic surveys. The MagArrow is engineered to address the limitations of both large manned and small helicopter surveys. To meet these special survey conditions, the MagArrow was built with reliability, efficiency, and ease of use in mind. The vessel is made of an aerodynamic, light-weight carbon fiber shell. Internally the system contains an MFAM miniature magnetometer, GPS, IMU sensors, an SD card, and battery connectors.
The MFAM sensors in the MagArrow are our most groundbreaking sensors yet, capable of highly precise measurements in an extremely lightweight and tiny package. Our system ships complete with a full featured data logger. The MagArrow can be attached easily to a wide variety of enterprise UAS. The 1000 Hz sample rate synchronized to the on-board GPS allows the system to function independently of the UAS and the UAS software. With such a fast sample rate, surveys can be completed at speeds up to 10 m/s with samples collected every 1 cm.
Operation in the field is simple. Survey details are programmed into the user’s UAS software of choice. The MagArrow is turned on, and once airborne, preprogrammed GPS waypoints carry the MagArrow in altitude stable survey lines. Once work is completed, data from the MagArrow can be wirelessly downloaded to a computer. The MagArrow is a robust yet flexible system that can adapt to changing field conditions and new user workflows. How will you use the MagArrow?
