Buried object detection using ground penetrating radar

A wide variety of sensors could be considered to aid this situation, and generally each will have a particular niche role but the sensor that is of most universal value is ground penetrating radar, or ground probing radar. Its main advantage is that it allows all types of objects to be detected irrespective of their material, operates over a sufficient bandwidth to allow target classification procedures to be implemented and makes use of modern digital electronics allowing wide areas to be searched rapidly. Other sensors provide complementary information that can be fused with radar data to provide a more complete view of the underground environment.
