VAP now offers Geomatics with RPAS/Drone Magnetometry
"Explore and discover the Earth by non-evasive and non-destructible means with modern technology employed by Victoria Air Photos and Survey"
Archaeogeophysical surveys (geophysical surveys done for archaeological reasons) are increasingly being planned and commissioned for, both for small and large scale archeological and geo-physical investigations. Detailed surveys using geophysical methods can help supplement information from archaeological excavations or even lead to major archaeological breakthroughs. Additionally, geophysical surveys can prove useful as reconnaissance projects over large areas to quickly asses their potential for archaeological structures/artifacts.
These new state of the art sensor arrays have applications in the oil and gas industry, geo thermal discoveries for clean energy solutions, mineral exploration and much more as well!

DESCRIPTION of Drone Capable Magnetometry Sensor:
VAP can fly the MagArrow II which is the second generation of the best-selling UAS-enabled drone magnetometer made in the USA. It’s setting a new standard for UAS magnetic surveys in Canada and around hte world.
Victoria Air Photos and Survey's new sensor array is engineered to simplify surveys that are difficult due to the various limitations of pilot-on-board surveys and ground surveys. The MagArrow is a robust yet flexible system that can adapt to changing field conditions and new user workflows.
The sensor consists of an aerodynamic, light-weight carbon fiber shell with internal electronics including the MFAM™ magnetic sensors, GPS, and IMU. The MFAM™, a two sensor module inside the MagArrow is our most groundbreaking magnetometer yet, capable of highly precise measurements in an extremely lightweight and tiny package.Operation in the field is simple. Survey details are programmed into the user’s UAS software of choice. The MagArrow is turned on, and once airborne, preprogrammed GPS waypoints carry the MagArrow in altitude stable survey lines. Once work is completed, data from the MagArrow can be wirelessly downloaded to a computer.
The MagArrow can be attached easily to our M300 RTK drone platform as payload, and the MagArrow’s 1000 Hz sample rate and synchronized on-board GPS allow it to function independently of the drone and the RPAS software.
"With such a fast sample rate, surveys can be completed at speeds up to 10 m/s with samples collected every 1 cm. Revolutionize your magnetic surveying capabilities with the Geometrics MagArrow!"
