Documentation & data sets
What is the MagDrone R1 used for?
The MagDrone R1 is a UAV / drone magnetometer survey kit. SENSYS says it can be used for general-purpose surveys, science-related magnetic cartographies, mine exploration and sensitive applications such as UXO detection. Listed applications:
- Survey and surveillance
- Mine exploration, tracking and monitoring at flexible heights
- UXO detection on unreachable, flooded or mined areas
Key features
- Self-folding sensor arm. The carbon fibre arm keeps the sensor as close to the ground as possible without risking the equipment.
- Attachable to any UAV with a 1+ kg payload.
- Adjustable recording rate, from 200 to 1,000 Hz.
- Live data output. The built-in 3-axis fluxgate can output serial live data at up to 1,000 Hz.
- USB interface (USB 2.0).
- Data processing tool: the MagDrone DataTool is included.
What do you need to run the MagDrone R1?
- Drone: any UAV / drone with a 1+ kg payload. The R1 is optimised for small and mid-size survey UAVs.
- Onboard computer: SENSYS optimised the R1 for survey UAVs equipped with UgCS SkyHub or similar. The user interface is UgCS SkyHub / Custom Payload Manager or other serial port terminals.
- Power: 24…48 V DC through an XT30 connector. Overall power consumption is 2.5 W.
- Software: the MagDrone DataTool is included. SENSYS MAGNETO® software is used for data interpretation, visualisation and object calculation.
How is MagDrone R1 data processed?
The MagDrone DataTool helps to identify flown tracks, and to cut, filter and compensate the raw data. It generates a preview and exports into various formats, so you can process the values further in MAGNETO® software, GIS tools or Matlab. It also handles track and flight direction detection, noise compensation and MagBase referencing.
How does the R1 compare with the R3 and R4?
| MagDrone R1 | MagDrone R3 | MagDrone R4 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| FGM3D/75 fluxgate sensors | 1 | 2 | 5 |
| Sensor carrier | Self-folding carbon fibre arm | Carbon fibre sensor tube, 1,070 × 22 mm | Dismountable sensor tube, 2,074 × 29 mm |
| Weight | 595 g | 690 g (820 g with Li-Ion battery) | 1,400 g |
| Power | 24…48 V DC (XT30) | 11.1 V, 1,950 mAh Li-Ion accumulator | 12-32 V |
| Sampling rate | 200 - 1,000 Hz | 250 Hz (higher rates on request) | 200 – 1000 Hz |
| Live data output | Via UDP | 2 Hz (via Bluetooth) | Via Ethernet interface |
