Airborne GPR For Hard-To-Reach Areas
MALÅ GeoDrone 80
A drone-based 80 MHz GPR solution for efficient surveying over land, ice and water where walking, boating or vehicle access is dangerous, slow or impossible.
Choose GeoDrone 80 whenYou need deeper reach for bathymetry, bedrock, larger cavities, larger objects, or deeper ice and snow measurements.

Fast Decision Guide
GeoDrone 80 Is The Deeper-Reach Option.
The GeoDrone family has two antenna choices. The 80 MHz version is tuned for larger or deeper subsurface targets. The 600 MHz version is better when the survey is shallower and needs finer near-surface resolution.
80 MHz
GeoDrone 80
Deeper investigations, bathymetry, bedrock, larger objects, larger sinkholes and deeper ice or snow.
600 MHz
GeoDrone 600
Smaller near-surface targets, shallow river or lake profiling, shallow bedrock and higher-resolution shallow mapping.
Best Applications
Useful Where Access Is The Problem.
GeoDrone 80 is built for open, remote and hazardous environments: snow-covered ground, uneven terrain, rivers, lakes, avalanche-prone regions and areas where personnel should spend less time on the ground.
Bathymetry Profiling
Profile river, lake, dam and shallow water bottoms from the air when boat access is slow or unsafe.
Bedrock And Geology
Map deeper geological layers, peat thickness, sedimentary structures and depth to bedrock across open areas.
Ice And Snow Surveys
Survey deeper ice and snow where crevasses, slopes, flooding or difficult terrain make walking surveys risky.
Large Targets And Cavities
Look for larger buried objects, sinkholes and cavities greater than 1 m where reach matters more than fine shallow detail.
Field Workflow
Survey From The Air, Then Process In MALÅ Vision.
The system is suitable for automated drone surveying. In the field, operators monitor acquisition through the Controller App. After the flight, MALÅ Vision Web or Desktop is used for visualization, handling and reporting.
Plan The Flight Area
Confirm local permissions for airborne GPR, match the drone lift capacity, and define automated lines for the survey zone.
Monitor In Real Time
Collect data using MALÅ HDR GPR technology with wireless real-time monitoring through the MALÅ Controller App workflow.
Process And Report
Manage, visualize and report the GPR data using MALÅ Vision Web or MALÅ Vision Desktop after the flight.
Specifications
Compare GeoDrone 80 And 600.
Switch between the two airborne GPR models to check drone payload, runtime, positioning and procurement fit before requesting a configuration.
Airborne GPR may require location-specific permissions and regulatory checks. Confirm the rules for the country and site before operating.
