FALCON® Airborne Gravity Gradiometry is the industry leading AGG technology, providing high-resolution, high-quality and broad bandwidth gravity solutions for structural and lithological mapping, and for direct target detection.

Developed in collaboration with Lockheed Martin, FALCON® AGG is specifically designed for challenging airborne environments. We operate six FALCON® systems globally on fixed-wing and helicopter platforms, offering the highest data quality and lowest noise specifications.

The surveys cover 100% of the area, including rugged topography, vegetation, and areas with difficult access. Magnetic data is acquired as standard, and radiometric data can be optionally included.

The FALCON® family is composed by FALCON®, FALCON® Plus & Full Spectrum FALCON®, and offers different system options tailored to meet exploration needs, ensuring efficient operations with minimal environmental impact.

At Xcalibur Smart Mapping we offer market-leading Airborne Magnetics, Radiometrics (MAG/RAD), and optional scalar gravity surveys for geological mapping and mineral exploration. The surveys are typically flown using customized low-flying aircrafts, for maximum efficiency and ultra-high-resolution geophysical data. The only limitation of the survey height is the height of the vegetation and man-made features. Xcalibur Smart Mapping also offers helicopter specific applications for difficult areas, using boom-tip mounted magnetometers and radiometric crystal packs to acquire ultra-high resolution magnetic and radiometric data in rugged terrains.

Airborne gravimetry plays a key role in geological mapping, oil and gas exploration, and geodetic studies. At Xcalibur Smart Mapping we offer its proprietary strapdown scalar gravimeter, the iCORUS-iX™, which acquires high-quality gravity data without the need for a stabilized platform. This exclusive system delivers measurements with half the noise levels of other commercially available technologies.
Compact and robust, the iCORUS-iX™ enables the acquisition of scalar gravity data alongside magnetic, electromagnetic, or gravity gradiometry surveys—even under turbulent flight conditions. It achieves a data quality of <1.0 mGal at a resolution of 3 km with wider line spacings, and higher-resolution datasets through oversampling at tighter line spacings.
Gravimetry data supports both surface and subsurface studies across a wide range of applications, including hydrocarbons, geothermal energy, hydrogen, mineral exploration, and geodetic modeling.
