Product Profile<br />

The <strong>LEADER</strong> <strong>SEARCH</strong> <strong>Radar</strong> <strong>Life</strong> <strong>Locator</strong> is a system which is designed to detect breathing<br />

and movement sub-surface and locate victims trapped as a result of catastrophes.<br />

The UWB GPR (Ultra Wide Band Ground Penetrating <strong>Radar</strong>) transmitter will penetrate the<br />

search area by generating continuous electromagnetic signals. The unit receives the reflected<br />

signals continuously and uses a series of sophisticated algorithms to process the data received.<br />

All constant images, which indicate no change in data, are eliminated as these represent no<br />

indication of human life. However, if there is any change in the data from the target area, then<br />

this indicates movement and is immediately highlighted and alarms as a possible life.<br />

This is detailed on the rescuer’s control unit <strong>LEADER</strong> <strong>SEARCH</strong> <strong>Radar</strong> <strong>Life</strong> <strong>Locator</strong> can detect<br />

movement as small as someone breathing below up to 10 metres of rubble. Breathing rates vary<br />

vastly, from around one breath per two seconds (in panic situations) to one breath in ten<br />

seconds (such as when unconscious), Therefore, each target zone is scanned thousands of<br />

times over a pre-determined period of between 15 to 180 seconds. The parameters can be<br />

determined by the user depending on the environmental conditions to ensure best chance of<br />

finding any signs of life.
