Description
MALÅ 3D Imaging Radar Array (MIRA) is a high-speed, one-pass 3D GPR system and the most effective solution for large-area GPR mapping.
MIRA Compact includes our world-renowned MALÅ HDR (High Dynamic Range) real-time sampling technology providing ultra-fast measurements and razor sharp data. The solution seamlessly integrates acquisition, processing, QA/QC, positioning and interpretation of ground penetrating radar data.
Application areas
MALÅ MIRA Compact is designed for any 3D mapping project:
- Utility locating/mapping
- Archaeology
- Underground Storage Tank (UST) detection
- General road assessment
- Unexploded ordnance (UXO)
- Sinkhole detection
- Clandestine graves
- General site investigations
Features
Large area 3D mapping
With the highest data-channel density on the market MALÅ MIRA Compact delivers unsurpassed resolution. The MALÅ MIRA Compact produces data with less noise, at higher speeds, with more functionality using improved mechanical design and modern software. The MIRA Compact is a hand-pushed, flexible and cost-effective 3D GPR solution, optimized for 3D mapping of buried objects and artefacts.
Up to 30 data channels
The MIRA Compact GPR array uses a 500 MHz centre frequency, The system is normally set up to collect 10 parallel data channels but the system is capable of collecting up to 30 data channels simultaneously since it allows data collection from any transmitter-receiver combination in the whole array.
MIRA Compact delivers 32-bit output, producing exceptional data quality, even at high speed surveys. The 6.5 cm channel spacing allows for the collection of precise, high resolution data.
MALÅ HDR GPR
The MALÅ MIRA Compact has been designed to take full advantage of the MALÅ HDR technology, giving you the best possible GPR data quality, resolution and bandwidth .
The MALÅ HDR, real-time sampling technology produces data with significantly lower noise levels, compared to traditional GPR systems. A lower noise floor gives a wider bandwidth when compared to conventional time-interleaved systems. This removes more of the background interference, giving sharper data with higher contrast, and the ability to see deeper than non-HDR systems.
MIRA Compact delivers 32-bit output, producing exceptional data quality, even at high speed surveys. The 6.5 cm channel spacing allows for the collection of precise, high resolution data.
Software: MIRA Controller
With the new MIRA Controller acquisition software, you will experience a modern and easy-to-use interface with integrated navigation aids helping you to maximize the quality of your measurements. MIRA Controller tracks the performance and data collection in detail helping you to maintain the correct speed and course.
Data processing: MALÅ Vision Desktop
MALÅ Vision Desktop is a fast, intuitive software for processing, analyzing, and reporting 3D GPR array data from MALÅ MIRA systems. Optimized for large datasets, it offers immediate visual feedback, multiple viewing modes (map, 2D, and 3D), and industry-leading proprietary interpolation.
Running fully offline, the software delivers results in minutes rather than hours. Automated processing, efficient depth-slice generation, and straightforward export to standard industry formats make reporting fast and reliable.
MIRA Compact Tow Hitch Carrier
The MIRA Compact Tow Hitch Carrier transforms your trusted MIRA Compact into a powerful motorized survey solution. Designed to mount directly onto the tow ball of cars, pick-up trucks, quad bikes, and ATVs, the MIRA Compact Tow Hitch Carrier lets you cover more ground in less time – from quiet farmlands to busy highways.
The MIRA Compact Tow Hitch Carrier offers three versatile survey modes:
- Transport Mode – secured for travel to and from the survey site
- Floating Survey Mode – survey with the antenna in full contact with the ground for unmatched data quality, suitable for farmland and grass areas
- Fixed Survey Height Mode – keep the antenna at a fixed height above the ground for high-speed surveys over hard surfaces, such as asphalt or gravel
The MIRA Compact Tow Hitch Carrier includes an integrated GNSS pole with sturdy support arms for mounting GNSS antennas or total station prisms, ensuring precise positioning in any environment.
