Measuring Equipment

The measurement units installed in the aircrafts are connected to each other by local area network (LAN). This makes it easy to install just the right measurement units for each running project. A laptop computer is connected to network and makes monitoring easy. All collected numerical data is seen on display during the flight as well as graphics for magnetics, EM and radiometrics._

Base stations:

Magnetic reference station: Scintrex CS-2 sensor + Picodas MEP-710 base station processor.

GPS base-station: GG24 surveyor GPS+Glonass receiver for DGPS correction

-laptop computers are used to record magnetic and GPS data, real time visual observing always possible

-ground/aircraft synchronization using time given by gps
