Magnetic interference can be a dangerous hazard for drones, as it can disrupt the operation of their onboard sensors and navigation systems. This can result in the drone losing its position, veering off course, or crashing.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a critical concern for drone enthusiasts and pilots. EMI occurs when external electromagnetic fields disrupt the normal functioning of a drone’s electronic components, such as GPS systems, compasses, and communication devices. This interference can lead to loss of control, navigational errors, and even crashes. To ensure safe and reliable flights, it’s essential to understand and mitigate EMI. By adopting proper shielding techniques, avoiding high EMI areas, and following best practices, drone operators can minimize the impact of electromagnetic interference, ensuring smoother and safer flights for their aerial devices.

There are several sources of magnetic interference that can affect drones, including:

  1. Electromagnetic fields: Electromagnetic fields, such as those generated by power lines, transformers, and other electrical devices, can interfere with the operation of drones’ onboard sensors and navigation systems.
  2. Metal objects: Large metal objects, such as cars, buildings, and bridges, can also create magnetic interference that can affect drones.
  3. Solar flares: Solar flares, which are sudden bursts of radiation from the sun, can also cause magnetic interference that can affect drones.

To protect against magnetic interference, it is important to follow these safety tips:

  1. Keep a safe distance: It is important to keep a safe distance from sources of magnetic interference, such as power lines and large metal objects.
  2. Use a shielded controller: Using a shielded controller, which is designed to protect against electromagnetic interference, can help reduce the risk of magnetic interference affecting your drone.
  3. Check the weather: Solar flares can cause magnetic interference, so it is important to check the weather and avoid flying during solar storms.
  4. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines: Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for operating your drone in the presence of magnetic interference.

By following these safety tips, you can help protect your drone against the dangers of magnetic interference and ensure a safe and enjoyable flying experience.  Follow my blogs  for more information.

He is an Author, Inventor, UAS Engineer, Blogger//Speaker and Entrepreneur. He has completed Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME). After the completion of the course, He shifted to Manila Aviation, Philippines to obtain the experience of Bell 407 Helicopter and Super King Air B200 aircraft. Also, accomplished accreditations in Human Factors, Aircraft Systems, Jet Engines, and Airframe, identified with wide-body aircraft, such as A320, A340, and B737. Later on, He joined a privately held UAV Company as a UAV Technical Engineer, where, during the exploration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, He transmuted his ‘Manned Aircraft’ knowledge into ‘Unmanned Aircraft’ and designed ‘India’s first Drone crash course study material’. Aside from Technical work, coordinated numerous workshops and training sessions to train the Engineering students regarding the Unmanned Aviation field as well as participated in the HALE/MALE sorts UAVs venture. Presently, He is working as a Director in a private UAV Manufacturing company (VAU Technovations LTD.). His recently formed UAV include VTOL UAV with Virtual Pilot and inventions comprise ‘Blended wing body flapless VTOL UAV, controlling with bleed air motion control system’ and more. As well as he authored a book, which comprises a detailed description related to all elements of the Unmanned Aircraft System. “Since, beginning He was very much interested in to produce something new, which never been done before to change the reality. The way, which drives this sort of deduction falls under the enterprising space, where somebody controls the entire Universal laws to reimage it by his own specific manner to make outlandishly conceivable.” By keeping an innovator mindset, after the completion of the course, He joined India based Start-Up company in the Drone sector. Where he got the undertaking to design ‘UAV Courses’ and the ‘Fledged Unmanned Device’ without any assistance. It becomes very hard to work, out of your prepared space. ‘Reimagination factor’ empowered him to plan ‘Practical UAV Courses’ as well as ‘Fledged Unmanned Device’ identified with numerous applications. During the working session, organized many training sessions and Signed MOUs with different colleges to train the engineering students in his own defined way. After that joined a couple of Start-Up companies (INDIA/South Africa) in a similar area as a Pioneer to deliver them ‘Initial Stage Boosting Strategies’ to cause them to survive in the market with limited resources. Parallelly, continues to contribute his own opportunity to tackle the genuine issues, which addressed by customers. Presently, working on, to be a Global competitor in the DRONE sector by manufacturing a completely indigenous Advanced Unmanned Aircraft System with Uniquely planned calculations. Awarded by many Engineering colleges for his work in DRONE Training Domain. In 2017, ‘Entrepreneur Magazine’ printed about his Business effort in DRONE Sector. In 2018, Nominated for ‘Visakhapatnam Manufacturing Leadership Award’. His invention sheaf comprises, ‘Blended Wing Body Flapless VTOL UAV, controlling with Bleed Air Motion Control System’, to solve out the Endurance related problem with the capability of carrying both Low-speed and High-speed operations at maximum stealth mode. ‘Unmanned Aircraft System for Under Bridge Bearings Inspection’ to solve out the inspection related problem of ‘Under Bridge Bearings’, The problem was addressed by one of the construction company. An extendable robotic arm with a camera is attached with the HUB of the air vehicle, which eases the ‘Bearings’ related inspections inside the ‘confined spaces’. ‘AI DRONE with Virtual Pilot’, Virtual pilot concept makes the controlling and troubleshooting of the air-vehicle easy. The purpose for to concoct the ‘Virtual Pilot’ is to ease the controlling and troubleshooting of the air-vehicle for the Non-Engineer operator. And the invention related to the defense sector comprises, ‘Lightning Strike System’, A MALE/HALE UAV payload system that channelizes the ionized plasma through MV channels to neutralize the targets. Additionally, Related to the Agriculture sector, the commercially launched ‘AGRORECK’ series ‘Pesticide spraying’ and ‘Multi-spectral imaging DRONES’ to solve the AGRO-related problems.
