The Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc. 3d-Radar business unit has announced that its Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology has been sold to nations in Europe, North America, and South Asia for deployment and use in military threat detection systems around the world. Sales include delivery to the U.S. Army for use in overseas operations. The company's advanced GPR Detection System is currently deployed and is successfully accomplishing its mission to locate buried threats.
"We are proud that our Ground Penetrating Radar technology is helping to mitigate buried threats around the world," said David Adams, co-chief operating officer of Curtiss-Wright Corporation.
3d-Radar's unique GPR technology includes a Radar Control Unit, GeoScopeTM, which enables operators to view pre-processed GPR data within milliseconds of the initial capture, and displays data from all of the GPR system's channels.
Curtiss-Wright Controls develops and manufactures the GPR systems at its Trondheim, Norway facility.
