Our company has been conducting airborne geophysical surveys since July 2007. We have completed surveys in all Australian states for
both large and small exploration companies, as well as for the Federal Government.
We have also carried out fixed wing and helicopter operations in Africa, Europe, Central America, PNG, New Zealand, and many S.E. Asian countries.
Thomson Airborne operates predominantly Cessna 210 aircraft but can now also offer a C208 Grand Caravan, fitted for magnetic / radiometric survey. These aircraft are available for work within Australia and overseas, provided the terrain is suitable. They offer the exploration industry the latest instrumentation and safety equipment available.
For ongoing safety, efficiency and data quality, Thomson Airborne aircraft are also maintained and calibrated to the highest industry standards.
Thomson Airborne is also capable of helicopter survey using our fixed-boom-mounted G823B Magnetometer, as well as a Radiation Solutions Inc RSX-4 Gamma detector system. This combined system can easily be fitted to a wide range of helicopters and is available for all domestic and overseas work.
A dedicated UAV magnetics survey system has been developed by
Rada Engineering and operated through Thomson Airborne.
UAV Magnetics is at the forefront of drone surveying in Australia,
and has refined its technology and method to create a system that
is fast, efficient and produces high-quality, high-resolution
magnetic data for exploration tenements and mine sites.
The AGP-GRAV is AGP’s next-generation strapdown gravimeter system, engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy and reliability in even the most challenging survey environments.
Designed with improved thermal stabilisation and cutting-edge data processing techniques, the AGP-GRAV ensures consistent, high-fidelity gravity measurements across a wide range of operating conditions. Its integration of high-performance gyros and accelerometers enables precise motion compensation and robust performance in conditions of high turbulence, making it ideal for both airborne applications.
With a wide dynamic range and advanced system architecture, the AGP-GRAV represents a significant evolution in gravity measurement technology, providing a system that can acquire high resolution data in the same pass when combined with traditional geophysical sensors such as Magnetics and radiometrics.
