The MagDrone R1 uses a three-axis FGM3D/75 fluxgate magnetometer.

Yes. JBUAS can supply the R1 as part of a complete UAV magnetic survey solution, including compatible drone integration, SkyHub, True Terrain Following and payload software. JBUAS also provides specialist support for drone-based geophysical sensor systems, including hardware, software and training.

The R1 can be integrated with UgCS SkyHub and True Terrain Following (TTF) to support low-level automated survey missions. TTF can help maintain a consistent sensor-to-ground clearance as terrain changes, which is particularly valuable when the objective is to maximise magnetic detection capability.

The R1 is listed with an IP52 ingress protection rating.

The published operating temperature range is -20°C to +50°C.

No. The R1 receives power from the UAV/integration system rather than using a separate internal battery.

The MagDrone R1 sensor system is listed at approximately 0.7 kg in current product specifications. JBUAS’s payload information lists the R1’s indicative in-air system payload at approximately 1.9 kg, reflecting the wider integrated configuration.

Yes. The system can be used for geophysical and geological applications, including magnetic mapping and mineral exploration. Survey parameters such as flight altitude, line spacing and speed should be selected according to the geological target and required resolution.

Yes. The R1 can be used to locate buried metallic infrastructure, including pipes and shielded cables where the material produces a detectable magnetic anomaly. It can provide a useful non-invasive survey method before excavation or construction work.

Yes. Archaeology is a key application for the R1. Aerial magnetic surveys can identify magnetic anomalies associated with archaeological features such as buried structures, pits, ditches, hearths and other anthropogenic remains. The R1 can survey large areas quickly while maintaining a close sensor-to-ground distance.

Yes. UXO detection is one of the primary applications for the MagDrone R1. The system can be particularly useful for surveying areas that are inaccessible, flooded, contaminated, heavily vegetated or considered unsafe for conventional ground teams. The ability to detect a particular UXO target will depend on its size, composition, orientation, burial depth, magnetic properties and the survey conditions.

Yes. MagDrone DataTool can export data into formats suitable for further processing, including workflows involving GIS software. The data can also be processed using MAGNETO® or other specialist geophysical software.

The MagDrone R1 can be used with MagDrone DataTool for processing and preparing raw survey data. DataTool provides functions including track identification, filtering, compensation, preview and export. The resulting data can then be processed using MAGNETO®, GIS software, MATLAB or other compatible analysis tools.

The SENSYS MagDrone R1 is a UAV-mounted magnetometer system designed to detect magnetic anomalies from the air. It uses a single three-axis fluxgate sensor and a lightweight foldable mounting system. The R1 is designed for small and medium-sized survey drones and can be integrated with UgCS SkyHub for data logging and survey operations.

The MagDrone R1 uses one triaxial sensor. This provides three-axis magnetic measurements from a single sensor mounted on the UAV.

The R1 is designed as a high-sensitivity fluxgate magnetometer for detecting relatively small magnetic anomalies. The actual detection capability depends on factors including target size and material, sensor-to-target distance, flight altitude, survey-line spacing, aircraft noise and environmental conditions. SENSYS testing has demonstrated the R1’s ability to detect a range of targets during low-altitude survey flights.

The R1 is designed for extremely low-level magnetic surveying. The appropriate operating height will depend on terrain, vegetation, obstacles, survey requirements and the complete UAV configuration.

Yes. The R1 is compatible with the DJI Matrice 350 RTK. The system can be integrated with UgCS SkyHub for data logging and payload management.

Yes. The R1 is compatible with the DJI Matrice 300 RTK. SPH Engineering’s SkyHub documentation includes specific support for the SENSYS MagDrone R1 and DJI M300 RTK.

Yes. Current product information lists the DJI Matrice 400 as a supported UAV platform for the MagDrone R1.

For a complete UAV survey system, the MagDrone R1 requires an appropriate data-recording and integration solution. The R1 itself does not have an internal data recorder. It can be integrated with the UgCS SkyHub onboard computer and data-logging software, which provides the required interface for recording and managing survey data.

UgCS SkyHub is an onboard computer and sensor integration platform developed for professional UAV survey applications. With the MagDrone R1, SkyHub provides the interface between the magnetometer, UAV and survey software, enabling data to be recorded and integrated with the flight information.

Yes. The system supports a live data stream to the ground station. This can allow operators to monitor survey information while the mission is underway.

MagDrone DataTool is software supplied for processing MagDrone survey data. It can be used to identify flight tracks, apply filtering and compensation, preview survey results and export data for further processing and interpretation.

Yes. JBUAS offers the MagDrone R1 as a complete system for hire. The listed hire configuration includes the SENSYS MagDrone R1, UgCS SkyHub computer, UgCS TTF radar, UgCS payload software and georeferenced survey mapping capability.

Yes. The R1 is designed specifically for professional UAV-based magnetic surveying. Its combination of a triaxial fluxgate sensor, low-level mounting system, high sampling rate and SkyHub integration makes it suitable for applications ranging from archaeology and UXO detection to infrastructure and geophysical surveys.

Yes. JBUAS has demonstrated the SENSYS R1 alongside other professional geophysical drone sensors and provides demonstrations of the system, software and expected survey outputs.

The SENSYS MagDrone R1 is available from JBUAS for professional UAV magnetic survey applications. JBUAS can provide advice on the R1, compatible DJI UAVs, SkyHub, True Terrain Following, software, training and complete survey system configurations.
