Scintrex to Provide Complete Airborne Geophysical Technology to Egypt

In April 1994 Scintrex signed a contract with Beech Aircraft Corporation of Wichita Kansas to supply a complete package of technology for airborne geophysical surveys and the processing of the resulting data. The technology is expected to be in use by the Nuclear Materials Authority of Cairo, Egypt in late 1994.

Scintrex is installing in a Beech Special Mission C-90B aircraft (King Air), a multi-sensor airborne geophysical system including : 1) a MAC-3 high sensitivity cesium magnetometer 2) a PGAM-1000 multichannel spectrometer system with 33 litres of GSA Gamma-rays Sensors 3) a PDAS-1000 Data Acquisition System to facilitate the recording/display of data from the multi-sensor arrays.

Ancillary instrumentation will include temperature and atmospheric pressure transducers, a real-time differential GPS navigation system with a PNAV-2001 Navigation computer, radar range-finders, a VFPR-3 Video Flight Path Recorder and an MP-3 Proton Magnetometer for base station use.

The data gathered by the airborne instruments will be processed in the field on a PC-based Ground Data Verification Station.

The contract provides for training of the Egyptian technical personnel to operate and maintain the geophysical and ancillary instrumentation and the data processing systems.
