GPR system: Radar Systems Zond Aero LF (low frequency)
Extra-lightweight, frequency-customizable GPR system built for DJI M400/M300/M350 RTK integration.
Extra-lightweight GPR system, suitable for medium-sized drones like the DJI M400/M300/M350 RTK.
Zond Aero LF is an extremely customizable GPR system in terms of available frequencies — tested with antennas across the 50–400MHz range, making it the most versatile system in the Integrated Systems portfolio. By default it ships with 3 sets of dipoles for 300, 150 and 100 MHz; dipoles for other frequencies are available on request, and supplied dipoles can even be trimmed to reach a required centre frequency.
It uses Real Time Sampling (RTS) with high hardware stacking to deliver high-resolution, low-noise data, and includes a transportation box plus mounting kit for the DJI M400 or M300/M350 RTK drone.
