The Fluxgate Magnetometer (FGM) is an airborne in situ magnetometer. It was initially designed to detect low-flying aircraft on submarines, but it is now used for conducting magnetic airborne surveys. It detects changes in the ambient magnetic field during flights and is able to measure the strength of the magnetic field to about 0.5 to 1 nT.
