Zond Aero 1000
High-Resolution 1000 MHz GPR (New Generation)
The Zond Aero 1000 'NG' is a lightweight, high-resolution ground-penetrating radar for medium-lift drones. Its New-Generation high-speed controller uses real-time sampling (RTS) to deliver clean data with a high signal-to-noise ratio — ideal for profiling snow and ice and detecting small shallow objects on Harris Aerial Carrier airframes.

High Frequency, Clean Signal
1000 MHz resolution and New-Generation real-time sampling for crisp, high-SNR shallow imaging.
1000 MHz High Resolution
A high center frequency resolves fine, shallow detail — well suited to small-object detection within tens of centimeters of the surface.
'NG' New-Generation RTS
The high-speed controller uses real-time sampling with hardware stacking for clean data and a high signal-to-noise ratio.
Snow, Ice & Shallow Targets
Profiles snow and ice to several meters and detects small buried objects in the shallow subsurface.
Lightweight Airborne Config
1.8 kg in airborne configuration at 31 × 19 × 15 cm — easy to integrate on medium-lift Harris Aerial Carrier platforms.
