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

Applications

  • Open-pit mines
  • Strip mines
  • Landslides
  • Dams
  • Dikes

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
