Georadar Drone – Zond Aero 500 NG
GPR georadar system for drone compatible with DJI Matrice 300/350.
Zond Aero 500 is an ultralight single-unit GPR specially designed for portable solutions. The device can be used as stand-alone on-board equipment with power supply from external source and Ethernet cable connection or inside the fully protective waterproof case with its own built-in lithium-ion battery and WiFi.
The user receives real-time information in the form of a radiolocation profile (sometimes also referred to as a radargram). The data is recorded on a hard disk for further use(processing, printing, interpretation, etc.) at the same time.
Here you will see examples of radiolocation profiles…
Zond Aero 500 has a built-in 500 MHzshielded antenna for
single-channel operation over different time intervals.
Zond Aero 500 can be optionally equipped with the shockproof trolley.

Zond Aero 500 has a built-in 500 A antenna for single-channel operation on different time intervals. Zond Aero 500 can be optionally equipped with the cart for ground use equipped with Odometer (requires topographic antenna for GPR data log). All georadar parameters are computer-controlled, so many hardware features are described here…
Georadar Drone Applications
- Ground Mine Search, UXO (Unexploded Ordnance)
- Archaeology
- Search for any metal objects weighing a few hundred grams or more lying underground
- Perform geological mapping in the exploration of extractable minerals and other extractable resources
- Identify the spatial distribution of ore bodies by looking for regional variations in the magnetic field
- Conduct geological investigations to discover anomalies
- Monitor tailings storage facility (TSF) facilities to prevent potential accidents
- Perform moisture analysis of TSFs to minimize hazardous leakage
- Conducting stratigraphic horizon modeling.
