AIR

A true air-launched ground penetrating radar (GPR) sensor array, designed for accurate and cost-effective 3D subsurface assessments.

AIR is an innovative true air-launched antenna array used worldwide for high-speed pavement assessment, airport, railroad inspection and landmine/improvised explosive device (IED) detection.

AIR creates added value by enabling collection of wide swaths of true 3-dimensional GPR data at any speed without risk of damage to the equipment and with minimal need for traffic management and lane closures. The result is unmistakable:

quick, precise, and highly cost-effective surveys and a safer work environment for site personnel.

AIR provides unsurpassed resolution at shallow depths as well as deep ground penetration due to an ultra-wideband antenna operation over a continuous 30 MHz to 4,500 MHz frequency range *. This, in combination with the unique sensor array design with up to 40 channels, allows the user to collect data in a true 3-dimensional data cube with crystal clear resolution at all depths.

The system is easy to deploy and begin collecting subsurface information straight out of the box. AIR is equipped with RTK GPS and IMU for precise positioning. It includes embedded data collection software for area coverage and customizing survey options.

ROADS & PAVEMENT

High-speed true 3D data collection and inhouse developed analysis algorithms and tools provides invaluable insights into the quality of pavement networks.

AIRPORTS

Ideally suited for aviation environments, AIR provides a repeatable large-scale evaluation method, covering multiple applications.

RAILWAYS

Integration of AIR into railway surveys provides additional subsurface insights, for example ballast thickness, contamination and more, all collected at high speed.

UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE (UXO)

Due to the true air-launched design of AIR antenna arrays and the capability to detect both shallow and deep buried objects, AIR is widely used in UXO surveys, helping to create a safer environment.
