| Summary | VLF fields are successfully used in geological mapping in ground and aerial versions with combined surveying using helicopters and airplanes. We have developed a technology for conducting VLF surveys using small UAVs. A prototype of measuring system with total weight of just about ~2kg was developed. The proposed methodology was tested at the Aleksandrovka geophysical test site of Moscow State University. At the first stage, repeated profile measurements were performed, which showed high accuracy and good repeatability. At the second stage, a small areal survey was carried out. The results obtained during the test flights are consistent with ground-based measurements made by land electrical prospecting methods. |
