UAV System And A Method For Survey And Detection Of Magnetized Unexploded Ordnance

Abstract

An aerial vehicle system for detecting magnetized objects comprises a propulsion system and sensor bar having magnetic field sensors at opposite ends to collect magnetic field data. In one example, the sensor bar extends at least one and a half times the propulsion system's length. The system further includes a positioning system, an altitude sensor, and an energy storage system. A processor executes flight instructions to navigate the aerial vehicle along a predefined path, collecting magnetic field and position data. A magnetic field information analyzer processes this data, generating expected magnetic signatures, comparing them to collected data, and predicting magnetized object locations. A user interface allows flight path customization and overlays detected objects onto a map of the surveyed area. The system can identify unexploded ordnance and landmines by comparing detected signals to predefined thresholds. The method includes controlling flight, collecting magnetic data, and analyzing signals to detect magnetized objects.
