Typical applications include: Archaeological surveys UXO detection and clearance surveys Geophysical investigations Geological surveys Locating buried metallic objects Pre-construction land investigations It is designed particularly for small and medium-sized field surveys.

Yes. The MagWalk is suitable for archaeological geophysical surveys, where magnetic anomalies can indicate buried features such as structures, ditches, pits and other archaeological remains.

Yes. UXO detection is one of the intended applications for the MagWalk. The magnetometer detects magnetic anomalies associated with ferrous objects, allowing potentially hazardous areas to be surveyed without requiring personnel to physically investigate every part of the site. Detection capability depends on the size, material, depth and orientation of the target and the survey conditions.

Yes. The SENSYS Remote Smartphone App can provide live readings from the sensors at approximately 2 Hz, including individual sensor-axis readings, absolute values and graphs for field investigations.

SENSYS MagDrone DataTool can be used to download, convert and pre-process MagWalk data. The resulting data can be used with specialist software such as SENSYS MAGNETO®, MATLAB and GIS software.

Yes. The integrated data logger records survey measurements to internal memory. Data can subsequently be downloaded for processing and analysis.

Yes. The MagWalk incorporates an internal GPS, with an external GPS interface also available. This allows survey measurements to be associated with their geographic position.

Yes. The two sensors can be used in a gradiometer configuration, allowing the system to measure differences in the magnetic field between the sensors. This can be particularly useful for identifying localised magnetic anomalies during archaeological and UXO surveys.

The MagWalk weighs approximately 1,600 g including its Li-Ion battery, making it light enough to be comfortably carried by one person during field surveys.

The MagWalk uses two three-axis fluxgate sensors which are positioned approximately 1 metre apart. The double-sensor configuration allows the system to collect magnetic measurements across a wider survey profile.

The SENSYS MagWalk is a portable double-triaxial magnetometer that can be carried and operated by one person. It combines two three-axis fluxgate sensors with a data logger, GPS and rechargeable batteries in a lightweight survey system.

The system can be used for geophysical and geological investigations.

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

The system uses rechargeable 11.1 V, 1,950 mAh Li-Ion batteries.

The MagWalk is designed for ground-based surveys, whereas the MagDrone R1, R3 and R4 are designed to be carried by UAVs. The MagWalk can be a useful option where personnel can safely access the survey area, while a UAV magnetometer can provide advantages for large, inaccessible or hazardous sites.

The MagWalk is designed primarily for small and medium-sized field studies. For very large areas, a vehicle-mounted or UAV-based multi-sensor magnetometer may provide greater survey efficiency.

Yes. JBUAS supplies SENSYS magnetometer systems and can advise on the most appropriate configuration for archaeology, UXO, geophysics, construction and other specialist survey applications.
