Ground-Based Radar and Monitoring of the Barry Arm Landslide Minimum Technical Specifications

Vendor/product must include the following characteristics:

• Be capable of sub-millimeter deformation monitoring of landslides and other geologic features at up to 4.5 km range using ground-based synthetic aperture interferometric radar at wavelength acceptable to FCC licensing requirements.

• Have an autonomous, efficient, power supply capable of powering the radar system for a period of three months under the harsh and cold environment of southern Alaska.

• Be capable of high resolution (40+ MB) image capture of a ~ 5 sq. km landslide area several times per day and on demand.

• Have an autonomous, efficient, power supply capable of powering the camera system for a period of 12 months a year under the harsh and cold environment of southern Alaska.

• Provide for ability to efficiently obtain replacement parts of radar, control, and power supplies, as necessary.

• Provide for ability to upload the data to the internet for remote data archiving and data processing.

• Provide for near-real-time analysis of landslide deformations using radar and image particle tracking with ability to telemeter data from southeastern Alaska and show visualizations of processed data.

• All physical components must be transportable by helicopter to a remote field site.
