This paper discusses the use of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for efficient mineral data collection. The main challenges addressed include managing electromagnetic interference, vibration noise, and sensor performance during flight. The researchers propose using gas hybrid multirotor UAVs equipped with strategies to mitigate these challenges, thereby enhancing mineral data acquisition. This approach extends UAV airborne time, improves data quality, and reduces operational costs. The study’s findings contribute to the development of advanced techniques for electromagnetic interference management and sensor performance stabilization.
