About the product
Description
MagDrone R4 by SENSYS (Germany) is a highly versatile magnetometer survey kit with five triaxial fluxgate sensors, mounted on a drone capable of carrying more than 1.5 kg. It is designed for large-area surveys where surveys on foot or by vehicle become very difficult. Unlike the R3, the R4 is used for high-resolution mapping: detecting small, compact metal debris, objects and structures underground, such as bombs, ammunition or remains of old settlements.
01
High-resolution mapping
Thanks to a folding mechanism, sensor spacing is 25 or 50 cm, and the carbon fibre boom provides a 2.5 m swath width. For full-coverage scanning the manufacturer states a productivity of 3–4 ha per hour. The smaller the sensor spacing, the smaller the objects that can be resolved.
02
One-button operation
The system is operated with a single button, and the integrated server is accessible from any WiFi device: smartphone, tablet or laptop. It makes it easy to set up and check the system, start or stop recording remotely and download data. MagDrone DataTool detects flown lines, cuts, filters and compensates raw data, creates a preview and exports to other formats.
03
Noise filtering
Thanks to the 200 Hz sampling rate, the system filters out noise from mains frequencies, infrastructure and drone propellers, so the sensor boom is mounted directly on the drone's landing legs or gear. Together with the MagBase reference station, temporal disturbances can also be removed.
The R4 is suitable for general-purpose and scientific magnetic mapping, as well as security tasks: bomb and ammunition detection, minefield mapping, preventive inspection and monitoring of areas and camps. The system is ready in a few steps, and data can be exported to MAGNETO®, GIS or MATLAB. For lighter payloads and smaller drones – MagDrone R3. To eliminate noise – the reference station MagBase. Important: a magnetometer detects ferromagnetic objects. It does not detect most modern mines, so the result cannot be taken as proof that an area is free of mines or small munitions.

Recommended
Carrier drone: DJI Matrice 350 RTK
In the manufacturer's examples the R4 flies on DJI Matrice 300 / 350 RTK class platforms.
Recommended
Carrier drone: DJI Matrice 400
A newer platform with higher payload and longer flight time.
Recommended
MagBase reference station
Fixed station for recording the Earth's magnetic field: helps remove temporal disturbances (vehicles, mains frequencies).
Recommended
MAGNETO® software
Optional SENSYS software for data analysis and interpretation: colour maps, position and size of suspicious objects.
Recommended
Terrain following system
For detection it is recommended to fly about 1 m above the surface, so a terrain following solution is useful.
