Confidential Information - Do Not Distribute 3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The IBIS-ArcSAR system is designed to remotely measure slow displacements at an accuracy great as a tenth of a millimeter. The IBIS-ArcSAR system is particularly suitable for terrain and structural monitoring applications, it aims to detect quasi-static displacements over long time periods. The performance of the IBIS-ArcSAR system depends on the type of configuration used and on the operative measurement conditions (above all, related to the reflectivity of the area under investigation); however, the best performance characteristics can be defined as follows: For Ku band system:  maximum operational distance: 5 km;  field of view: 360°;  acquisition time: 40 seconds;  image resolution in distance: 0.75 m (EU/FCC limits);  angular resolution: 5 mrad (5 m at 1 km);  accuracy in measuring displacements in the viewing direction: 0.1 mm (for points with a good reflectivity – SNR > 50 dB – and depending on the impact of atmospheric variation on the measure). The IBIS-ArcSAR system offers the following advantages over the currently available monitoring systems (GPS, total stations, extensometers): IBIS-ArcSAR permits the operator to perform remote monitoring of the area (remote sensing), without needing to access the area to install sensors or optical targets; IBIS-ArcSAR supplies a continuous displacement map of the entire area. It measures simultaneously all the displacements of the entire area illuminated by the antenna beam, which can cover over hundreds of thousands of square meters; IBIS-ArcSAR directly measures the displacements of the territory of interest near real time; IBIS-ArcSAR can be used both day and night, and in almost all weather conditions; IBIS-ArcSAR doesn’t require the continuous presence of an operator and can be controlled by wireless connection. This possibility of performing long distance monitoring, without needing to install sensors signifies that investigations can be performed even when:  the area of interest is not accessible;  the area of interest is particularly large and would therefore require many in situ sensors. In addition, when the monitoring activity is required to assure personnel safety in emergency situations, the possibility of performing remote monitoring may be essential to protect lives. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show a view of the four side of IBIS-ArcSAR system. The basic components are:  ArcSAR Acquisition Unit: made of Positioner, Radar Sensor, Antennas, Pointing Camera, Panoramic Camera and GPS;  Positioner: it is device that allows the movement in azimuth and tilt of sensor and the panoramic camera. The movements are controlled by the Controller SW. The
3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION IDS GeoRadar S.r.l. Confidential Information - Do Not Distribute MNG/2017/0016 Rev 1.0 9/ 78 positioner is able to rotate within 360°. The radar view can therefore be 360° wide.  Radar Sensor: it generates, transmits and receives the electromagnetic signal. The Radar Sensor is installed at the edge of the positioner arm. The movement of the Radar Sensor around the positioner permits the utilization of the ArcSAR technique, which obtains a 3D image of the scenario;  Antennas: proper antennas are required to make the Radar Sensor properly transmitting and receiving RF signals;  Pointing Camera: mounted right over the Radar Sensor, it helps to easily define the area of interest. A video streaming is in fact integrated in the Controller Software to get a real time feedback of the Radar current pointing direction during the session setup.  Panoramic Camera: installed below the radar trolley, it provides 360° high-resolution geocoded images of the scenario;  GPS: to automatically retrieve the information needed for the geocoding (Radar position and bearing);  ArcSAR Supply Unit: this module is in charge of giving power supply and control to the Acquisition Unit and to other optional devices such as WIFI antenna and weather station; It is composed of:  Laptop PC: it is equipped with the system management software (IBIS Controller Software). This is used to setup the acquisition parameters, store the data and transmit them to the control room;  Battery pack: this is the main source for supplying the Acquisition System and all the other devices;  Generator: it is the main source of power used to recharge the battery pack when connection to the grid is not available. It can be configured to automatically start when required;  ArcSAR Trailer: it permits the mobilization of the IBIS-ArcSAR and gives extreme stability to the Acquisition Unit during the monitoring session thanks to hydraulic jacks.  Integrated Solar Panels: for recharging the battery pack therefore reducing the generator running time; The optional components are:  Wind turbine: for recharging the battery pack therefore reducing the generator running time;  Weather Station: it provides information about the atmospheric conditions;  Wi-Fi Bridge: it permits data transmission from IBIS-ArcSAR to the Control Room;  Low temperature kit: it allows the IBIS-ArcSAR operation in extremely cold environments;
