It is therefore of paramount importance to quantify the three dimensional propagation characteristics of infrasound from buried sources. Despite initial success with using an octocopter to quantify ground motion with a seismic hammer (Jones et al., 2015), attempts to capture buried explosion sources using this method have proven very difficult. Even when successful, octocopter-borne sensors suffer from high levels of background noise, have limited flight time due to battery life, and require substantial resources to deploy.
