MALÅ Imaging Radar Array (MIRA)

MALÅ Imaging Radar Array (MIRA) is the most modern and technically advanced GPR product on the market. MALÅ MIRA is a one-pass 3D system providing a cost efficient solution to large scale GPR mapping and target identification. It is the only available system of its kind that seamlessly integrates acquisition, processing, QA/QC, positioning data, interpretation and export of results.

The MALÅ MIRA system is designed using multiple antennas configured in an Array (see definition under technical specification). Up to 30 antennas can be used simultaneously to gather data in real time. It was designed to retain survey speed regardless of number of antennas used.

The power within this product lies in its ability to quickly and easily gather full 3D data in broad paths, so called "swots". Results are processed in 3D, displayed and interpreted through a dedicated software package and then exported into suitable GIS or CAD data formats.

The MIRA solution is a complete system for all necessary steps in the target locating process, from survey to end results.

Experience:

MALÅ Geoscience has developed 3D GPR solutions for more than 10 years, general GPR systems for more than 30 years and provided geophysical instruments for more than 80 years
Innovative market leader in GPR technology
User in 100+ countries
Providing service and support in all time zones

The MALÅ MIRA system is appreciated world-wide for being the most cost-efficient GPR solution for large scale mapping projects. A MALÅ MIRA system can typically collect 10,000+ square meters of data per day and the software is designed to efficiently handle huge data sets. Whether clients are mapping complex underground infrastructure or subtle 3D geological features across large areas, the MALÅ MIRA offers a cost-efficient solution for achieving answers fast and accurate.

Technical Specification [+]

Array Definition:

The term ‘Array’ is widely used in the marketplace for almost any kind of multiple antenna configuration, and this is causing some confusion. There is a growing need for being able to distinguish between systems capable of real 3D data acquisition and systems merely suitable for multiple antenna operation and MALÅ Geoscience therefore suggests the following definition of the term ‘Array’:

1) The individual radar channel spacing should be less than one quarter of the centre wavelength in the media under investigation.

2) Any combination of receiver and transmitter elements should be possible within the array, i.e. shooting from any transmitter to any receiver/s.

3) All included antennas in a 3D Array, need to produce a ‘near-identical’ response (signature).

4) The array system should have a positioning device/sub-system providing an accuracy of at least half the channel spacing, over the whole area of investigation.
