Hexagon's IDS GeoRadar Launches True 3D GB SAR for Mine Slopes
ArcSAR Neo introduces direct 3D, 360° radar monitoring with extended range to improve early detection and confidence in slope-risk alerts. hexagon.com IDS GeoRadar, part of Hexagon, has launched ArcSAR Neo, an industry-first ground-based synthetic aperture radar (GB SAR) system that captures true three-dimensional data for 360° mine slope monitoring. The system targets earlier detection of instability, higher confidence in alerts, and improved risk assessment in open-pit mining. Unlike conventional GB SAR solutions that reconstruct 3D models from two-dimensional radar measurements, ArcSAR Neo acquires 3D information directly at source during monitoring. This approach reduces interference and artefacts such as multipath effects or disruption from moving equipment, improving displacement measurement clarity and trend reliability. For operators, this translates into more dependable alarms and fewer unnecessary production interruptions. ArcSAR Neo integrates a 360° HDR panoramic camera that provides georeferenced imagery synchronised with the radar dataset. The combined visual and radar context supports interpretation of slope behaviour and accelerates decision-making. The system offers an extended monitoring range of up to six kilometres, enhancing early detection of fast-evolving failures, including bench-scale instabilities. Designed for rapid deployment, the trailer-mounted unit can be set up by a single operator in approximately 15 minutes. Power flexibility is provided via onboard photovoltaic panels for solar operation, with an optional diesel mode to ensure continuity in low-light conditions. To match varying operational needs, ArcSAR Neo is offered in three configurations—Tactical, Advance, and Performance—scalable via licensing to suit applications from small pits to the largest open-pit mines. This modular approach aims to maximise return on investment while standardising workflows across sites. www.hexagon.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
