FastGBSAR-S
MetaSensing offers a range of ground-based and airborne radar sensors for natural and man-made hazard prevention and monitoring. We use top-level radar technology and signal processing to provide risk assessment and early warnings.
FastGBSAR-S application
MetaSensing’s FastGBSAR-S is a ground-based radar solution for monitoring unstable natural elements and critical artificial structures. Using SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology, the FastGBSAR-S is installed on a linear rail to produce two-dimensional (range and azimuth) images.
Designed to work in harsh environmental conditions, the FastGBSAR-S generates displacement maps of large areas every 10 seconds with sub-millimeter accuracy, up to a distance of 4 km.
Advantages
- The most accurate real time monitoring of unstable areas or structures
- Earliest detection and warning available on the market
- No reflectors needed
- No stable reference area needed
- Autonomous 24/7 operation in all weather conditions
Key features
- Interferometric ground-based SAR operating at 17.2GHz
- Scan time: 4 seconds
- Time between two scans: 10 seconds
- Spatial resolution: up to 0.5m by 4.8 mrad (0.5 m by 4.8 m at 1 km)
- Accuracy: 0.1 mm
- Maximum range: 4 km
- Proprietary Ranger software for real time processing and early warning (link to Ranger Software page)
- Trailer solution with hybrid energy system (solar, wind, diesel, backup battery)
- Two hardware versions: single and dual polarization
- Configurable: SAR and RAR modes available
Applications
- Open-pit mines
- Strip mines
- Landslides
- Dams
- Dikes
The FastGBSAR-S comes with its proprietary Ranger software, developed specifically for the mining environment and for critical structure monitoring.
