Title : Development of an Innovative Ground Penetrating Radar for 
		Recognition and Identification of Subsurface Buried Objects

Subject Index Code : Economic Aspects, Environmental Protection, Industrial Manufacture, 
		Innovation, Technology Transfer, Safety
Objective : Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)  has proven to be the best candidate 
		for non- invasive sub-surface analysis. In response to specific 
		limitations of existing systems, the SMART-RAD project intends to 
		develop an innovative technology able to set forth the conditions 
		for a widespread commercialisation of GPR tools within a broad 
		range of industrial sectors where efficient underground inspection 
		is required. SMART-RAD will be able to reliably detect buried 
		objects and will have easy on-field data interpretation capability, 
		such to be used by untrained operators. The system will have a 
		broad class of potential users in the construction and 
		re-development industry, as efficient and cheap alternative to 
		conventional ground inspection methods in construction or 
		de-commissioning sites, reducing the risk of damages and accidents 
		during excavation operations.
