The article discusses the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based Vertical takeoff and land (VTOL) Fixed Wing (FW) systems for mineral data acquisition. The paper focuses on the challenges of integrating high-sensitivity sensors on UAVs and how to manage these for efficient mineral exploration. Challenges include payload limitations, dynamics, and safety, particularly in fixed-wing UAVs. The research aims to reduce electromagnetic interference in suspended magnetometer setups and maintain high data quality during flight.
