In a world where surveillance threats are evolving, traditional RF detection alone no longer provides the full picture. It is imperative to also check cabling, light and even for electronic circuits. The Lockhart Magnetometer was developed to address a critical capability gap in modern TSCM operations – detecting the silent, shielded presence of deep-sleep or standby-off electronics.
Unlike conventional detectors that rely on RF emissions, the Magnetometer senses the very weak alternating magnetic fields emitted by all powered electronic circuits – even when they’re in a standby OFF state. This includes hidden or dormant devices equipped with timers or oscillators.
Compact, handheld, and incredibly sensitive, the device is optimised to locate electronics hidden within walls, ceilings, furniture, or metal enclosures – spaces often used to shield against RF-based detection, such as nearfield detectors and NLJDs.
When paired with headphones, pulsing magnetic fields are translated into audible signals while simultaneously being visualised on the device’s amplitude-vs-time scrolling display. Its intuitive UI mirrors the rest of the Lockhart TSCM range, and its lightweight form factor is powered by standard AA batteries for total portability.
