Science and Products
Saucer Shark Project
The Saucer Shark is a Magnetometer Payload suspended below an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) to reduce platform induced magnetic noise while maintaining high sensitivity. This payload is an evolution in the geomagnetic sensing realm; boasting a high and adjustable sampling rate, low noise, ease of portability (additionally used as a walking ground survey), real-time data downlink, user interface...
UAS Research Center
Supporting cutting edge research using UAS for earth science applications and missions for the National Uncrewed Systems Office (NUSO). Our UAS engineers design, build, test, and implement UAS and payload technologies supporting a wide range of projects from measuring streamflow and magnetics, to ground penetrating radar for soil moisture and snow depth. We work with USGS PI’s to develop payloads...
