The Penetradar Integrated Radar Inspection System (IRIS) is an automated radar based system for high-speed, non-destructive surveys, solving the problem of radar data interpretation and ease of use. The IRIS consists of ground penetrating radar, data acquisition hardware and IRIS Software, all integrated into a highly automated, turn-key inspection system that requires little knowledge of radar signal interpretation to operate effectively.

Designed for use at speeds of 60 MPH (100KM/H) the IRIS “sees” into the ground, automatically acquiring and storing digitized radar data on hard disk for subsequent processing. IRIS Software simplifies the task of data analysis and consists of automated and computer assisted programs which require limited user input and provide 2D & 3D subsurface profiles and plan-view subsurface mappings of the area inspected.

The IRIS utilizes all Penetradar antennas and can be installed with up to four antennas in an array for maximum transverse coverage. A complete IRIS system consists of the following components:

• IRIS DRC (1, 2, 3 or 4 channels)
• Antenna(s) & Cables
• IRIS Software for Windows
