magnetic anomaly detector

magnetic anomaly detector
A sensitive magnetometer that can detect very small changes in the earth’s magnetic field caused by a ferrous object, such as a submerged submarine. It is carried at the end of a boom projecting from the tail of a plane and used to pinpoint a submerged submarine or magnetic deposits in the earth.
