Development of this snow radar and its integration with an octocopter UAV is presented. Field trials of the UAV-mounted snow radar, conducted in Antarctica during the summer season of 2017/2018, are also described. The radar allows measurements of snow depths on sea ice between 10 and 100 cm. Additional reflections due to internal layers within the snow are evident at a few measurement points. The snow radar is evaluated for various flight parameters: stationary; flying at speeds between 1 and 3 m/s, and at heights from 5 to 15 m. Evaluation of snow-depth results indicates that a depth accuracy of ±3.2 cm is achieved with stationary measurements, and of ±9.1 cm with measurements at the various flight speeds.
