Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. What types of objects can the PALADIN Ground Radar detect underground?

Ans. The PALADIN Ground Radar, being a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system, can detect a variety of underground objects and features non-invasively. This includes metallic and non-metallic utilities like water pipes, gas lines, electrical cables, and communication lines. It can also identify buried foundations, rebar in concrete structures, archaeological artifacts, geological strata, voids, and changes in soil composition, making it versatile for various subsurface investigations.

Q2. How does a drone-mounted GPR system compare to a handheld or cart-based GPR system?

Ans. A drone-mounted GPR system like the PALADIN offers significant advantages over traditional handheld or cart-based systems, especially for large areas or difficult terrain. Drones can cover vast expanses much faster, access inaccessible areas (steep slopes, dangerous sites), and collect data more consistently without ground interference. While handheld systems offer direct tactile control, drone GPR excels in efficiency, safety, and generating comprehensive, georeferenced datasets for mapping.

Q3. What kind of data does the PALADIN Ground Radar produce, and how is it interpreted?

Ans. The PALADIN Ground Radar typically produces raw radar data, often visualized as 2D profiles or "radargrams," which show reflections from subsurface features over distance. These radargrams are then processed using specialized GPR software to remove noise, enhance signals, and create clearer images. From these, trained professionals can interpret the presence, depth, and sometimes the type of buried objects. For comprehensive mapping, multiple 2D lines can be combined to generate 3D subsurface models.
