In the field of subsurface sensing\, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a key technology fo r detecting buried explosive threats\, such as landmines and Improvised Ex plosive Devices (IEDs). The talk will be focused on GPR systems mounted on board Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)\, leveraging the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) paradigm to provide high-resolution radar images of the subsu rface. This kind of systems brings together the advantages of UAVs (e.g.\, enabling the inspection of difficult-to-access areas without interacting with the soil) and the capability of radar systems to detect buried target s. In this talk\, several prototypes of UAV-mounted GPR-SAR systems tested in realistic scenarios will be presented\, showing their success to detec t buried threats in realistic scenarios. The current challenges and future trends of this technology will be also discussed.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Sai Padmanabhan\; Chair AP/MTT chapter of Long Island NY. gmwave1@gmail.com\n \nSpeaker(s): MARIA\, \n\nAgenda: \n6:15PM Set up Webex online with speake r\n\n6:25PM Introduce speaker and introduction to AP society's Ambassador program\n\n6:30PM Talk begins\n\n7:30PM Talk concludes\n\n7:30-7:45PM Q & A session\n\n8:00PM conclusion and vote of thanks\n\nVirtual: https://even ts.vtools.ieee.org/m/428577 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/428577 ORGANIZER:Raghunandan@ieee.org SEQUENCE:24 SUMMARY:UAV-mounted GPR-SAR systems: a key technology for detecting buried explosive threat URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/428577 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="xmsonormal" style="text-align: just ify\;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt\; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\;">Radar technology plays an important role in our daily lives with applications ra nging from security screening for ensuring the safety of the public to str uctural health monitoring to name a few.
