Abstract
The market of existing unmanned aerogeophysical systems is analyzed. The main types of unmanned aerial vehicles and their applicability for solving different geological problems are considered. The comparison of results obtained by different domestic magnetic survey systems at the reference site is presented. In addition, several results obtained by unmanned aeromagnetic survey systems under real-life conditions are also given. The possibility of replacing of the most part of both standard ground and aeromagnetic magnetic surveys by multirotor technologies at sites sized up to several hundred square kilometers are shown. Possible role of other types of Unmanned Aviation Vehicle designed for needs of magnetic survey is also analyzed.
