Abstract

The article demonstrates the possibilities of using various types of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for geophysical research. UAVs are becoming a powerful tool for highspeed geophysical research in hard-to-reach areas for quick observation and measurements of certain parameters of physical fields. UAVs, capable of integrating geophysical sensors, become a powerful and effective tool for preparation of more detailed and more expensive geophysical observations of the Earth's physical fields for the study of the deep structure and detection of local anomalies. Obtaining spatial and geophysical data from unmanned aerial vehicles using sensors in combination with modern software and software modules allows to quickly and efficiently process data and obtain results of geophysical observations in the form of high-quality graphic material, point clouds, etc. in other specialized software.
