Seeker SPR
Seeker SPR
ORIGINAL: AMERCIA
Originally developed by a British aerospace and electrical engineering firm, under a Ministry of Defence contract to design and implement a system to locate plastic land mines. Further developed and now manufactured by US Radar/Subsurface Imaging Systems, this technology has a myriad of uses in the public sector. By sending ultra wide spectrum RF energy pulses into the medium under investigation, the system is able to generate images of sub-surface features regardless of the material composition. Plastic, wood, metal, voids, concrete, rock...as long as there is a difference between the object and the surrounding material, the system can create an image.
An “Everything Detector”
A metal detector sends energy into the earth in a small number of frequencies (up to 17). When the transmitter passes over a metallic object, that object becomes energized and then in turn emits a signal of its own. The metal detector then receives this signal and translates this energy into a user recognizable tone. The Seeker SPR systems work on the same basic principles. However, by sending microbursts of a wide range (thousands) of frequencies, the Seeker SPR is actually able to detect a number of materials whether conductive or not.
Seeker SPR Systems detects subsurface features & obstructions of any material with unparalleled accuracy.
