A magnetometer measures a magnetic field’s intensity and direction. It gives data on the magnetic field in three X, Y, and Z. This helps the drone determine the magnetic north and change its course accordingly. Apart from direction sensing, magnetic sensors can also detect surrounding magnetism and ferro-metals, such as electricity poles, wires, vehicles, other drones, etc., to help avoid an accident.

When it comes to airspace awareness and protection, we can all learn from the knowledge, experience, and perspectives of others in this emerging field. If you have original, never before published content, thought leadership, research, reports, multimedia resources, or other interesting airspace awareness or Counter-UAS content, we’d love to hear from you.
For your work to be considered for publication on C-UAS Hub, please send an email containing any relevant information to pr@cuashub.com. We will respond to your email as soon as we are able.
Thank you,
