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
