The use of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle) for conducting EM surveys is
receiving a lot of interest. Using a UAV to carry the survey instrument allows
the surveyor to cover more ground, survey in areas that are not amenable to
ground vehicles, or survey areas of unstable ground too dangerous for manned
operations. For many surveys with these characteristics, our GEM2 ski is the
ideal instrument. It is suitable for:
- locating underground pipes, tanks & other structures
- locating pipelines & other features in shallow water
- monitoring leach heaps, lagoons and buried tanks
- locating groundwater contamination from brine or chemicals
To help those interested in aerial applications of the GEM2, we have
developed several lightweight versions of our instruments Contact us for more information.

NEWS: Breakthrough EM survey from a UAV
Congratulations to American Unmanned Systems (
americanunmannedsystems.com )
for being the first to successfully conduct a
UAV-based EM survey, using their
Guardian Eagle autopiloted helicopter. They flew a completely standard GEM-2 ski
rigidly attached underneath the helicopter, identifying both known and unknown
targets. |
