We design and manufacture a wide range of geophysical equipment. Our comprehensive product line:
- Magnetometers for land surveys, drone-based surveys, marine applications, and airborne surveys.
- Marine seismic exploration equipment: electrodynamic sources, sparker-type sources, deep-water sources, energy sources up to 50kJ, towed streamers with integrated inertial navigation systems, bottom hydrophone streamers, navigation buoys, winches, and reels.
- Borehole seismic exploration equipment: P- and S-wave sources, energy sources, hydrophone and geophone streamers, multi-level 3C borehole seismic arrays up to 8 levels with different type of anchoring, winches, and cable reels.
- Aquatic system for resistivity / IP imaging and TDEM methods.
- Radiometers for ground-based and borehole surveys.
- Our equipment is applied across various fields, including:
- Mineral exploration
- Oil and gas exploration
- Geothermal energy studies
- Permafrost research
- Engineering surveys
- Environmental investigations
- Unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection
- Archaeological surveys
- Geotechnical monitoring
Advantages:
-Speed and efficiency — drones can cover survey areas much faster than ground methods.
-Access to challenging terrains — enables surveys in areas that are difficult or dangerous for ground crews (swamps, cliffs, etc.).
-Profile consistency — flight lines are easily kept straight and evenly spaced thanks to autopilot and terrain-following systems. On the ground, this is harder to achieve, especially in forested or mountainous areas.
-Cost reduction — fewer field staff and less time are required compared to ground surveys or manned aircraft.
Disadvantages:
-Increased sensor altitude — the sensor operates further above the ground than in terrestrial surveys, which naturally attenuates and smooths weak, localized anomalies.
-Limited flight time — batteries require frequent replacement or recharging.
-Sensitivity to weather — strong winds reduce flight stability and data quality.
-Regulatory restrictions — UAV flights are subject to strict national regulations in many countries.
- UAV magnetometer AeroSmartMag https://geodevice.co/product/asm/ ,
- SmartMag base station https://geodevice.co/product/smartmag/ for diurnal correction,
- a rented drone with a pilot and a terrain-following/obstacle-avoidance system (not required if the area is flat and open),
- calm weather without wind.
With this setup, you can perform a drone-based magnetic survey, use our software to apply diurnal corrections, and produce an anomalous magnetic field map — exactly what is needed to evaluate the prospectivity of a site.
In addition, we offer the AeroSmartMag UAV magnetometer + MaxiMag walking magnetometer bundle https://geodevice.co/product/mm_asm/ , which enables both drone-based surveys and detailed ground measurements.
- in areas with rugged topography
- when searching for low-gradient anomalies, where even small altitude variations can “blur” the signal.
On flat terrain, or when targeting strong anomalies, terrain-following can be safely omitted.
In addition, terrain-following is not only about data quality and accuracy, but also about flight safety: accounting for elevation changes and detecting obstacles reduces the risk of collisions. We provide solutions for both terrain-following and obstacle avoidance https://geodevice.co/product/attf/ , ensuring reliable and safe surveys even in challenging environments.
