Supracon is developing a geomagnetic prospection system for the detection near surface phenomena in cooperation with Thuringian research institutions and companies. The system is designed for a fast and economical three-dimensional magnetic mapping of the ground.

It has two operation modes, either attached to a vehicle or alternatively pushed manually along the ground. This latest development has already proven its advantages for building ground evaluation, unexploded ordinances detection and archaeological investigations in practical application.

The participating institutions are the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich, the Technical University of Munich, the University of Oxford and the Gran Sasso National Laboratories. The experiment searches for hypothetical massive elementary particles (WIMPs), a candiate for dark matter.
