Magnetometer Integration Improved with New Compact Digitizer
Bartington Instruments recently unveiled their 24-bit digitizer, known as DG-1. This compact 24-bit device was specifically created to convert analog magnetometer output signals, featuring three input channels and connecting directly with personal computers via USB for real-time data readout and logging purposes. This development marks an important advancement towards streamlining sensor integration into maritime and defense applications.
The DG-1 digitizer offers robust application programming interface support for multiple programming frameworks, including the.NET Framework 4.8.1 and native C++ ISO C++ 20 standards. Furthermore, this digitizer is fully compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and 11 operating systems; code examples in C++, C# and VB.NET help accelerate development cycles to speed deployment of magnetometer systems across naval platforms and coastal surveillance networks more rapidly.
Quantum Sensing Market Expansion Establishes Bartington as Key Player
Bartington Instruments is recognized as an innovator and market leader within the optically pumped magnetometer market, which has seen significant expansion. Estimates place its current valuation at USD 420 million with projected annual compound annual growth rates of 12.0 percent through 2033 - this growth represents increased adoption of non-cryogenic magnetic sensing technologies across industries.
Recent market developments include government-funded optically pumped magnetometer deployment projects on navigation and defense satellites, prototype releases of wearable OPM-MEG helmets for neural imaging applications, field ready OPM systems for archaeological surveys, environmental assessments and archaeological site surveys, along with Bartington's participation in expanding this market to advance quantum sensing capabilities for both civilians and defense agencies.
Advanced Magnetic Field Measurement Systems for Maritime Applications
Bartington Instruments continues to supply advanced magnetometer systems designed for maritime defense and vessel signature analysis. Their Mag-13 series provides high-performance three-axis magnetic field sensors with noise levels below 4 picoTesla root mean square per square root Hertz at 1 Hz; suitable for operation at depths exceeding 5 kilometers. These sensors are particularly beneficial in analyzing magnetic signatures of ships on degaussing ranges - an essential capability in modernizing naval forces.
Bartington's Mag648S and Mag649S submersible magnetometers, designed for large-scale harbor and offshore surveillance networks that require minimal power consumption - 15 milliwatts or less. Furthermore, its Mag628, Mag629 and Mag669 aerospace-qualified models support magnetic anomaly detection systems used for submarine detection as well as airborne maritime patrol operations - these products meet the evolving demands of modern naval forces seeking enhanced underwater awareness and coastal security capabilities.
Collaboration Advances Superconducting Technology Testing
Bartington Instruments has provided innovative magnetic field compensation technology to support leading research institutions' advanced research initiatives. Bartington provided a three-axis magnetic sensor to be installed within Gersemi vertical cryostat at Uppsala University's FREIA laboratory for use with testing High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider magnets and superconducting radio frequency cavities; this collaboration showcases its technical abilities supporting cutting-edge science beyond maritime and defense applications.
Bartington's active earth-magnetic-field compensation system with sensor technology was crucial to safeguarding superconducting cavities during testing protocols, while successful powering of superconducting magnets at cryogenic temperatures thanks to systems featuring Bartington monitoring equipment represented a milestone in accelerator technology development. Such collaborations solidified Bartington's reputation for providing precision measurement solutions across numerous technical fields.
