Schonstedt - Hand-Held Magnetometers for Munitions Response
|
Schonstedt Instrument Company is the world's leading manufacturer of hand-held Fluxgate magnetometers for Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) and weapons detection. The GA-52Cx, GA-72Cd and GA-92XT are the magnetic locators of choice for EOD technicians and law enforcement personnel worldwide. Schonstedt magnetometers find ferrous metal targets used in landmines, Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), buried ordnance, other Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC), and hidden weapons. They have been tested and proven by the US military, private contractors and NGOs in munitions response operations around the globe. SELECTED USERS OF SCHONSTEDT MAGNETOMETERS Selected high-profile users of Schonstedt magnetometers include:
GA-52CX – MAGNETIC ORDNANCE LOCATORThe GA-52Cx magnetic locator detects the magnetic field of iron and steel objects such as UXO and other Explosive Remnants of War (ERW), as well as concealed weapons and munitions. The GA-52Cx magnetic locator has been the industry standard for more than 35 years and is the most popular ordnance locator on the market. Patented HeliFlux® sensor technology allows for target detection at greater depths, without interference from nonferrous metals such as aluminium, brass or copper. The piezoelectric speaker provides a clear, sharp signal for pinpoint locating accuracy. Unmatched sensitivity and ease of operation reduces search time and increases operational effectiveness. GA-72CD – FERROUS METAL DETECTORIn addition to an audio signal, the GA-72CD features a digital readout and expanding bar-graph display of signal strength and polarity. This allows the user to visually pinpoint the target, and, in many cases, determine its orientation. The GA-72CD is the first gradiometer to use environmentally-friendly lithium batteries, which have twice the life of alkaline batteries and a ten-year shelf life. GA-92XT – PORTABLE MAGNETOMETERFifteen months of research, design, and testing has produced the new Schonstedt XT, the most portable magnetic ordnance locator ever made. The GA-92XT is a hip-holstered ordnance locator that leaves both hands free for other tasks as necessary. It offers fingertip control of volume and sensitivity, and one-handed operation in both retracted and extended modes.  Contact Details

 Pentagon briefing by the US Army Rapid Equipping Force, describing use of Schonstedt GA-92XT magnetometer to find weapons hidden in walls and under the ground.  The GA-72Cd magnetic locator – with digital readouts, dynamic bar graphs, polarity indicators, and audio signals – quickly pinpoints buried ordnance and weapons, and provides valuable data on their orientation.  The Schonstedt GA-52Cx magnetic locator is demonstrated by Human Factors Applications, Inc. at the US Army Environmental Center, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland - US Army Photo.  The GA- 92XT is the most portable magnetic locator ever made. It extends for greater sensitivity, retracts to fit in its custom holster. |
