Abstract:
There are systems and methods for performing a geophysical survey using a hybrid aircraft which includes an apparatus configured to perform the geophysical survey. The system including: three mutually orthogonal transmitters configured to transmit electromagnetic (EM) waveforms towards the ground which creates a secondary magnetic field, wherein the three mutually orthogonal transmitters are attached to the hybrid aircraft; three mutually orthogonal null-coupled receivers configured to obtain measurements associated with the secondary magnetic field, wherein the three mutually orthogonal null-coupled receivers are attached to the hybrid aircraft; and three mutually orthogonal gradient receivers configured to obtain measurements, wherein the three mutually orthogonal gradient receivers are attached to the hybrid aircraft.
