What will you learn in magnetometer training?

Drone magnetometers detect ferrous objects and map the magnetic field for UXO detection, utility mapping and mineral exploration (see SPH Engineering’s magnetometer page). HobiTech sells the sensors in our magnetometers and magnetometer software collections.

The trainer-led Basics of Magnetic Data Processing & Interpretation course covers:

  • Types of magnetometers, and the basics of magnetic data processing and interpretation
  • Data processing in GeoHammer Pro, Seequent Oasis montaj, or SENSYS MagDrone DataTool and MAGNETO® software
  • The airborne magnetometers in the Integrated Systems lineup: SPH Engineering MagNIMBUS, SENSYS MagDrone R4/R3/R1 and Geometrics MagArrow

The magnetometer program is one trainer-led course plus a practical exam; there is no self-study magnetometer course at present. Magnetometer survey missions are planned in UgCS, so the UgCS courses are listed on this page too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who runs the magnetometer training?

The courses and exams are delivered by SPH Engineering, the company behind UgCS and the Integrated Systems survey payloads. HobiTech coordinates enrolment for customers in India.

How long is the trainer-led magnetometer course?

Up to 6 hours. It can be provided at the SPH Engineering office or by video conferencing.

How many people can join one magnetometer course?

The price is for a group of up to 4 students.
