HELICOPTER TIME-DOMAIN ELECTROMAGNETICS & MAGNETICS
NRG’s Xcite™ is a cutting-edge helicopter-borne time-domain electromagnetic (HTDEM) and magnetic system designed for exceptional resolution, depth, and versatility. Featuring a patented inflatable bird and NRG’s proprietary fast sampling algorithm, it enables both magnetic and EM sensors to be mounted on the same plane, maximising signal strength and delivering high-resolution data with a superior signal-to-noise ratio for mineral exploration, aquifer mapping, and geoscience applications. The system also offers logistical advantages with its lightweight design, rapid field setup and reducing mobilisation costs.
Key features of the Xcite™
system include:
Patented
Inflatable Bird
Ultra-compact and lightweight for cost-effective shipping and rapid setup—ready to fly within 4 hours in remote environments.
Dual-Frequency
Operation
Field-switchable between 12.5 Hz and 25 Hz for optimized performance across a wide range of conductivities and target types.
Exceptional
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Low survey height and advanced suspension system reduce noise by up to 10-fold, enabling clearer subsurface imaging.
Fast Turn-Off Time &
Early Sampling
Ideal for aquifer detection and shallow resistive/conductive target resolution due to rapid transmitter shut-off and early time channel capture.
Co-Planar EM and
Magnetic Sensors
Unique configuration places both sensors at the same height above ground, increasing signal strength and spatial accuracy.
High Output
Power
Offers up to 300,000 NIA output power with a 20-meter transmitter loop, ensuring deep subsurface penetration.
Low-Altitude, High-Resolution Data Acquisition
Flying just 30 meters AGL, Xcite™ achieves greater anomaly amplitude and better anomaly definition due to proximity to geological sources.
Fully Digitised,
High-Speed
Recording
All raw EM and magnetic data are digitally recorded for detailed analysis and improved quality control.
Minimal
Microphonic Noise
Robust, shock-absorbing frame design minimises vibration-related interference for ultra-quiet signal collection.
Field Repairable and
Durable
Built for rugged conditions, the inflatable structure is resilient and easily serviceable in the field, reducing downtime.
