Explorations in and around the Templar Church in Poland

Recently, an excavation was carried out in Poland with focus on the search for tunnels and vaults around and in the church of the Knights Templar. Find out what was …

The RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) of the Gepard GPR 3D sends a signal into the ground and awaits the reflection or echo of the signal to detect sub-surface anomalies.

Detectable objects and structures

• underground walls, basements and concrete reinforcements
• hidden cavities, graves and sepulchers
• water level and underground rivers and aquifers
• buried pipelines, conduits and cable harnesses
• backfilled wells, galleries, trenches and dugouts
• septic tanks, distribution boxes and drainage pipes
• secret tunnels, bunkers and shelters
• buried treasure chests, statues and caches

Optimization of ground surveys

The Gepard ground penetrating radar is using a multiple transmission frequency range starting at 60 MHz up to 300 MHz which is realized by adjustable telescopic antennas. It furthermore supports many automatic adjustments to optimize your ground surveys on specific soil types, which makes the handling of the Gepard ground radar very easy. You just set your depth resolution and start surveying.

Measurement Data Analysis with Android Software

The measured data of the ground penetrating radar is immediately transferred to the Android Tablet PC. The Android software receives the data via WiFi and displays it directly on screen.

The software offers the option of integrating a GPS signal or Google Maps, filtering automatically and entering notes for later recollection of specific scan details. Additionally, the automatic filtering option improves the results of your scan and assists in finding hidden objects and structures more easily. Due to the integrated GPS all scan positions can be stored along with the scan data.
