DroneRover Enterprise
DroneRover Enterprise is a professional drone magnetometer system designed for high-resolution magnetic surveys over large or difficult-to-access areas.
The system uses five ultra-high-sensitivity fluxgate sensors arranged in a horizontal array to capture detailed magnetic field variations while flying over the survey area.
DroneRover Enterprise records magnetic data together with RTK-corrected GPS coordinates and motion data, allowing precise mapping of subsurface magnetic anomalies.
The system is designed for use with professional UAV platforms such as DJI Matrice 300 / 350 / 400 RTK, but it can be mounted on any drone capable of carrying 1 kg or more.
