PROJECT TOPICSecurity, Defense & Emergency Response
Ground Proving Acoustic Telemetry Rover
A non-destructive geophysical survey concept examining ultra-lightweight composite frames, high-frequency GPR antennas, and acoustic seismic wave sensors to map buried subsurface anomalies without exerting heavy ground pressure.
Low-Ground-Pressure Geophysical Exploration
- ✓Distributes rover mass to exert under 5 kPa of ground pressure, preventing terrain collapse.
- ✓Identifies both metallic and plastic buried objects using stepped-frequency GPR reflection.
- ✓Logs precise centimeter-accuracy GPS tags for every subsurface anomaly detected.
The Engineering Challenge
Problem / Objective
Heavy ground exploration vehicles risk triggering unstable terrain or buried hazards during post-conflict civil clearance.
