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. This discussion paper examines the viability of a UAV-mounted SDR GPR system and presents preliminary field data from remote non-glaciated terrain. The rapid development of utilized technologies suggests that remote sub-surface imaging of previously inaccessible areas will soon be feasible using UAVs.
