magnetic anomaly detector [mag′ned·ik ə′näm·ə·lē di‚tek·tər]

(electromagnetism)

A sensitive magnetometer carried at the end of a boom projecting from the tail of a patrol plane which can detect very small changes in the earth's magnetic field caused by a ferrous object, such as a submerged submarine; used to pinpoint a submarine's location, for effective deployment of suitable weapons. Abbreviated MAD.
