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.
