Multi-frequency GBSAR

Description

MWSE Multi-frequency GBSAR is a flexible Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar for slope stability and structures monitoring. It targets customers and researchers who have to deal with complex stability studies where vegetation or snow cover difficult proper measurements. The use of multiple frequency bands assists the compensation of atmospheric artifacts, vegetation and/or snow cover and moisture presence.

It is also an optimal tool for ground truth and preparation of future satellite mission providing hyper-temporal multi-band data of current and future space-borne SAR systems.

Advantages

Variable microwave penetration depth
Differentiation of different target contribution (soil, vegetation cover, snow)
Constant monitoring fully autonomous
Displacement measurement by remote sensing
Long range measurement, up to 4 km
Compatible with most common GIS software

Applications

Civil engineering and mining

Tailing dam monitoring
Slope stability
Structural monitoring

Agriculture and environment

Geohazard prevention
Support and validation of forestry and soil moisture models

Other

Earth Observation: near ground truth for satellite data
