GPR system: Radar Systems Zond Aero 1000 "NG"

Universal ground penetrating radar system for terrestrial and airborne surveys with real-time sampling (RTS) technology and advanced built-in digital signal processing to provide high quality data with an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio.

The Zond Aero 1000 NG is a truly versatile system that can be used in the most appropriate way for specific survey conditions:

• on a cart - the most standard method for scanning on the streets or in confined spaces
• dragged with a tow rope if the load-bearing capacity of the ground surface is not suitable for a wheeled cart
• on a drone for large open areas without tall obstacles and vegetation

Lightweight GPR system on the market, suitable for medium-sized drones like DJI M350/M300 RTK.

Recommended applications:

• profiling snow and ice to a depth of several meters
• detection of small objects at a depth of a few tens of centimeters below the surface

Includes a transportation box and mountings for the DJI M300/M350 RTK drone. Mounts for other types of drones are available upon request.

HS Code: 90158020 (meteorological, hydrological, geophysical instrument)

Please note that additional components and software must be ordered to use this GPR with drones. It is recommended to order a complete set. Please ask for the quote.
