What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Commercially shipping with multiple independent UAV integrators (SPH Engineering MagNimbus uses 2x QTFM Gen-2) and a deep, multi-vendor MEG research base (QuSpin Neuro-1/QZFM characterized alongside FieldLine systems) — mature, but field-geometry and shielding caveats must be designed around.
Next
Scope a concrete sensing use-case (UAV magnetic anomaly survey via a MagNimbus-class integration, or biomagnetic OPM-MEG) and validate deadzone/heading-error handling against a current vendor QTFM Gen-2 spec sheet before procurement.
