At GroundProbe, our advanced range of mining radar systems was designed to improve reactive and predictive safety monitoring across all types of mining environments. With a variety of features and benefits, including the ability to scan and monitor through dust, rain, and other weather conditions that other technology solutions simply cannot, our radar technology delivers industry-leading insights to keep your workers and site safe and efficient.
Our radar-based solutions also have extensive range and scan coverage capabilities, compared to laser-based monitoring systems, allowing them to maintain measurement accuracy and the highest resolutions even at the longest ranges. Its sub-millimetre deformation measurement accuracy also remains constant at any distance.
Only GroundProbe provides a radar-agnostic approach, offering 3D Real Aperture Radar, 2D Real Aperture Radar, 2D Synthetic Aperture Radar and Doppler Radar options.

Radar Technology FAQs
How accurate are GroundProbe’s radar systems?
GroundProbe’s radar systems are built for sub-millimetre deformation measurement accuracy, regardless of the distance from the monitored surface. This high level of precision enables early detection of even the slightest ground movement, which is critical for proactive geotechnical risk management.
Whether monitoring pit walls, tailings dams, or haul roads, GroundProbe radars deliver consistently accurate data across short, medium, and long ranges. This ensures that your mine site personnel receive real-time, actionable insights that improve decision-making and maintain safety standards. Learn more about our SSR and RGR radar solutions and safeguard your site today.
Can radar monitoring continue during low-visibility weather?
At GroundProbe, our range of radar technologies is specially designed to withstand the harsh terrain and conditions of a range of mining and civil construction environments. This means that our SSR and RGR radars are fully operational in all weather conditions, including:
- Heavy rain
- Dust storms
- Fog and low light
- Night-time operations & more
Unlike visual or laser-based technologies, GroundProbe radars use radio waves, which are unaffected by atmospheric obstructions. This ensures 24/7 continuous monitoring of geotechnical hazards, even in the most challenging mining environments.
How do GroundProbe radars integrate with my existing monitoring and data systems?
GroundProbe radar systems are designed for seamless integration with your mine’s digital ecosystem. All radar units are fully compatible with MonitorIQ, GroundProbe’s geotechnical data aggregation and visualisation platform. This allows teams to view, analyse, and respond to slope movement data from multiple radar units and technologies in a single interface.

What is the difference between Real Aperture Radar (RAR), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and Doppler Radar?
GroundProbe offers access to a range of different radar types to suit different site monitoring needs. These include:
- Real Aperture Radar (RAR): Uses a physical antenna to detect movement and is available in both 2D and 3D forms. The 2D RAR, such as the SSR-FX, is ideal for long-term, wide-area monitoring, while the 3D RAR, like the SSR-XT, is designed for real-time, tactical use in high-risk zones.
- Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR): Used in systems like the SSR-SARx, the synthetic apature radar creates high-resolution images from multiple angles, making it effective for detecting small movements over long distances and timeframes.
- Doppler Radar: Used in the RGR-Velox, our Doppler radar measures motion based on velocity, enabling immediate alerts for fast-moving events like tailings dam breaches.
Each type of radar supports a specific part of a site’s geotechnical monitoring strategy; this means that you can customise your monitoring approach to suit your exact site needs and safety concerns. Enquire with GroundProbe and learn more today!
