Abstract
UAV technology is rapidly developing and increased payloads are available from more affordable platforms. Similarly, the development of Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology provides opportunities for configuration of lightweight and low-cost ground-penetrating radar (GPR) systems. (McCallum and Fairweather, 2013) briefly discussed the potential for UAV-mounted GPR systems for remote area glaciology. This discussion paper builds upon that work and examines the contemporary viability of UAV-mounted SDR GPR systems for site investigation of remote area or inaccessible geo-materials. © 2016 Australian Geomechanics Society.
