Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Suitable for specialist magnetic-survey pilots when the complete platform is qualified for the target and flight conditions.

Why
Field results demonstrate useful measurements and buried-pipeline detection, while heading, sensor height and platform interference materially affect interpretation.
Next
Validate noise, heading compensation, sensor height, positioning and target detectability on representative repeat survey lines before scaling.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Axial dead zone and heading error require operational handling.
  • UAV interference and sensor placement can dominate intrinsic sensitivity.
  • Sensor-height variation can create non-geological field differences.
  • Weak targets and large survey areas require additional validation.
