GPR for Matrice 300/350/400 & Terrestrial

The Zond Aero 1000 NG is a high-resolution ground-penetrating radar (GPR) system featuring a 1000 MHz shielded antenna and Real-Time Sampling (RTS) technology—engineered for shallow, detailed subsurface surveys from aerial or terrestrial platforms.

Designed for integration with UAV platforms (such as the DJI M300/M350 RTK), it’s ideal for mapping utilities, archaeology, void detection, snow & ice profiling and other shallow depth investigations where resolution takes priority.

Aero 1000 NG FAQ

Yes — the Zond Aero 1000 NG is specifically designed for medium-sized drones (e.g., DJI M300/M350/M400 RTK) and includes mounting kit options.

It can also be used on a cart for ground mobile applications.

Due to the high frequency, depth is limited (e.g., ~2 m) but resolution is high. For deeper penetration you might consider a lower-frequency GPR model.

Prism 2 data acquisition/processing software is included in the kit. Additional integration with drone mission planning may be required.
