Uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly important to a range of military and civilian applications. Modern UAVs range in size from small quadcopters weighing less than 5 kg to fixed wing aircraft as large as regional airliners. In this proposed program, the team will develop a small low cost UAV for geomagnetic surveys. The researchers from Carleton and Sander Geophysics Ltd. (SGL) will focus on flight path planning for low magnetic interference, sensor integration and flight testing. The program will employ a range of simulation and modeling capabilities as well as leveraging the team existing expertise in UAVs, flight mechanics and geophysics. We will optimize a small, 20 kg all-electric UAV shich has already flown at Carleton for this specific mission. Over this three year program, we will conduct annual flight test campaigns beginning with simple straight flight paths and progressing to fully autonomous draped flight profiles to demonstrate the basic capabilities of the UAV for SGL.

无人飞行器（UAV）对于一系列军事和民用应用越来越重要。现代无人机的尺寸范围广泛，从重量不足 5 公斤的小型四轴飞行器到像支线客机一样大的固定翼飞机。在这个拟议的项目中，该团队将开发一种用于地磁勘测的小型低成本无人机。卡尔顿和桑德地球物理有限公司（SGL）的研究人员将专注于低磁干扰的飞行路径规划、传感器集成和飞行测试。该计划将采用一系列模拟和建模功能，并利用团队在无人机、飞行力学和地球物理学方面现有的专业知识。我们将优化一架小型 20 公斤全电动无人机，该无人机已在卡尔顿飞行，用于执行此特定任务。在这个为期三年的计划中，我们将进行年度飞行测试活动，从简单的直线飞行路径开始，逐步发展到完全自主的悬垂飞行剖面，以展示 SGL 无人机的基本功能。
