ArroTech’s GEON E61: Making the World Safer
The GEON E61 is more than just a drone. It is an unmanned aerial vehicle outfitted with equipment and driven by software that addresses a stubborn, life-threatening problem: the presence throughout much of the world of unexploded ordnance and landmines. The GEON E61 makes possible the safe, reliable detection and removal of these unattended but deadly weapons of war.
Our vision
At ArroTech, we believe that people should be able to freely move about streets, playgrounds and fields whose safety is not compromised by the presence of unexploded ordnance and landmines.
We are committed to neutralizing this threat by using our newly developed technologies in humanitarian ways that will benefit present and future generations.
Technology that saves lives
The GEON E61 is the world’s first fully autonomous drone optimized for military, humanitarian, and commercial demining organizations. Currently, these organizations detect metallic land mines and UXO using metal detectors that are handheld and rolling cart-based. Although effective, these methods are dangerous, time-consuming, and expensive.
Using the GEON E61, the GPS coordinates of metallic objects can be more safely provided to Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel in a fraction of the time and cost. Ease of operation was a primary consideration in the development of the GEON E61. The fully autonomous drone allows for one-button operation.
GEON E61 – Advanced UXO Detection System
Time-domain metal detector
The GEON E61 is the only autonomous drone that incorporates a custom time-domain metal detector, fully compatible with the EM-61 MK2, which is the premier tool for UXO and mine detection.
Terrain following
Maintaining the sensor at a constant distance above the ground during missions is critical. The GEON E61 is capable of precisely following real world terrain at distances as low as 20cm, and is able to avoid obstacles in its flight path.
Speed and precision
The GEON E61 surveys 10,000 square feet in only 20 minutes — a fraction of the time required by traditional UXO-detecting methods — while improving accuracy, safety and cost-effectiveness.
