Capabilities/Features

  • Purpose-built, state-of-the-art, highly sophisticated autonomous drone system and software.
  • Minimal setup time of 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Operation is simple. User simply draws scanning area on map and presses start button for standard surveys.
  • Automatic return/resume (for battery swaps) and onboard generator in ground control station allow for continuous system operation.
  • Precise terrain following at heights of 30 cm or more above ground. Scanning speeds up to 3 m/s.
  • Small items containing as little as 17g of metal can be detected on the surface; larger objects can be detected up to about 3 meters underground.
  • Proven system that has been tested in thousands of flight hours, including in harsh environments like Ukraine.
  • Can detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals. 
  • Data is automatically processed into multiple formats.
