Recent Magnetometer And Spectrometer Experiments Using An Airborne Microlight Platform

From the need to perform geophysical surveys cheaper and faster the Geophysics<br>Division started experimenting with a remotely piloted drone with a magnetometer<br>and GPS. Since this technology is still relatively underdeveloped the experiments<br>branched out to using a Streak Shadow microlight plane with modern<br>experimental fluxgate magnetometer and lightweight 512-channel gamma-ray<br>spectrometer coupled to a real-time GPS system. Ultra high-density surveys can<br>therefore be flown at greatly reduced cost. An airborne TDEM system is currently<br>also being developed.
