The article presents a review of Russian airborne geomagnetic evolution and shows that nowadays the creation of airborne geomagnetic complexes based on air drones (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV) is much in demand. The theoretical and research data on the development on UAV optimal configuration to place a new-generation quantum aeromagnetometer (using a rubidium sensor with optical injection) on the UAV are shown. The authors have developed an unmanned aeromagnetic complex (UAC) to use in high-quality aeromagnetic surveys at low altitudes (from 30 m) for geological, engineering, and ecological goals.
