Geophysical survey design using the airborne full tensor gravimetry. Application in mining...

The following thesis is divided in two parts. Firstly, we develop the business plan of the innovative product Daedalus Project, which is a low-altitude flying platform, characterized as HaaS (Hardware-as-a-Service) and has a range of applications. It is the first product of the spin-off company Daedalus PC, whose purpose is to find investor, specifically referred to seek funds from seed-funding (early financing) or from business angels. In the second part, this thesis present and analyze a service of the platform that can support and be directly applicable to oil and mineral exploration. Particularly, The possibility of adaptation of gravimetric equipment to Daedalus Project is presented as well as the usefulness of full-tensor gravimetry method is examined. Finally, the applications as well as the advantages of this method are presented that include: mitigation of the exploration risk, better resolution, low noise interference quicker and less expensive data acquisition, real-time data acquisition and interpretation, robust integration for modelling with earthquake data.
