Zond Aero 600 MHz GPR System

Professional Airborne and Ground-Based Ground Penetrating Radar for Subsurface Mapping

The Zond Aero 600 MHz Ground Penetrating Radar System is a versatile, lightweight GPR solution designed for both UAV-based and terrestrial geophysical surveys. Developed to deliver high-quality subsurface imaging, the Aero 600 enables operators to locate buried utilities, investigate infrastructure, identify voids, map archaeological features, and perform environmental assessments without disturbing the ground.

Operating at a centre frequency of 600MHz, the system provides an ideal compromise between penetration depth and target resolution. This makes it particularly effective for utility mapping, engineering investigations, archaeology, and infrastructure inspection, where both detail and depth are critical.

Utilising advanced Real-Time Sampling (RTS) technology and integrated digital signal processing, the Aero 600 delivers excellent signal-to-noise performance and reliable data acquisition. The resulting radar profiles provide clear visualisation of subsurface features and buried objects across a wide range of soil conditions.

Designed specifically for drone deployment, the Aero 600 integrates seamlessly with DJI M400, M300 RTK and DJI M350 RTK aircraft via UgCS SkyHub. The system automatically records RTK-positioned survey data, enabling highly accurate and repeatable flight missions. In addition to airborne operations, the Aero 600 can also be mounted on survey carts or towed platforms, providing flexibility across diverse survey environments.

The combination of lightweight construction, rapid deployment, and professional-grade data quality makes the Aero 600 an ideal solution for surveyors, geophysicists, engineers, archaeologists, and infrastructure specialists seeking efficient subsurface intelligence over large areas.
