OPPORTUNITIES: Growing demand for GPRs in military applications

As the military industry is evolving every day, so is the demand for detection and investigation equipment, such as GPRs, growing worldwide. The military mainly uses GPR systems to identify the location and detection of buried explosive devices. For instance, GPR is used in old sites to identify unexploded ordnance (UXO). Additionally, the common application of GPR systems in the military sector is identifying the location of embedded wires and cables in structures. The location of buried bunkers, tunnels, and caches are also areas of growing interest. In May 2020, the US Army ordered GPR systems to detect improvised explosive devices (IEDs) buried in roadways. They found their solution from Chemring Sensors and Electronics Systems (CSES) in Dulles, Virginia, and ordered to build Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS) kits, spare parts, maintenance, and training for themselves.

GPR provides a sense of human motion through walls and underground. Hence, it is also used for intrusion detection. All these applications of GPR equipment in the military sector are contributing to the growth of this market at present

CHALLENGES: Requirement of skilled professionals to operate GPR equipment

The use of GPR in utility locating processes involves precise inspection of the field to locate underground utilities. The field inspectors should have knowledge of the construction and operations of the underground utility distribution and collection systems and the related policies and procedures. They should also have expertise in computer- and software-related operations to gather information on the exact physical characteristics and location of the utility. The lack of knowledge related to electronic or manual GPR equipment and field survey procedures and understanding of utility maps and construction drawings make locating the utility a tedious task for the field officers. Hence, the requirement of skilled professionals to correctly operate GPR equipment may be a challenge in some underdeveloped and developing markets.
