Overview
SkyTEM continues to deliver innovative airborne electromagnetic TEM systems that match scalable system configurations to achieve project-specific goals, from detailed near-surface exploration to deep target imaging, even combined with GRS and B-field.
The latest developments include newly developed High Power (HP) systems mounted on a revolutionary rigid and lightweight carbon frame. The new generation of systems are specifically designed to:
Explore deeper and at higher elevations
Improved characterization of geology and conductors through the use of integrated B-field and exploration proven 12.5 Hz repetition frequency
Reduce exploration costs due to fast flying (up to 150 km/h) and increase production with lightweight frames
Review data within 48 hours – allowing clients to customize systems within a few hours.

EXPLORATION TARGETING NEEDS
SkyTEM304
SUPERIOR HIGH
NEAR-SURFACE EXPLORATION
Water, Mineral Exploration & Geotechnical
SkyTEM304 has been employed worldwide since 2004 for a wide range of applications including mineral, geotechnical engineering solutions and most of the globally acclaimed SkyTEM water mapping projects. Like all SkyTEM technology the current in the coil turns off within a few microseconds. Bias free measurements begin at 7 µs. Combined with late time recordings out to 10 ms SkyTEM304 is the only system proven to deliver accurate data from the top few metres to depths of up to 350 m.

SkyTEM312
NEAR-SURFACE &
DEEP EXPLORATION
Water & Mineral Exploration
(well suited for regional mapping)
The SkyTEM312 with twelve transmitter loop turns collects both near surface and deep data. This system has a dipole moment of ~500,000 NIA and operates at speeds of up to 150 km/h with a transmitter and receiver terrain clearance of 50 metres. The performance of SkyTEM312 is built on an exceptionally rigid and aerodynamic carrier frame that maintains the low noise levels necessary to provide fine discrimination in the near surface data while retaining the ability to detect weak conductors at depth. This dual-moment capability makes the system ideal for both mineral exploration and groundwater mapping purposes.
