M-UGS® is a cutting-edge monitoring system. It is based on a set of ground sensors linking themselves into an ad hoc wireless network, and capable of sending alerts to a central monitoring station responsible for collecting and displaying information gathered in a geo-referenced map. M-UGS® ground sensors are connected to each other by means of a meshed wireless network. Sensors can be combined as desired and include:
- Seismic sensors (MEMS accelerometers or geophones) to identify ground vibration caused by pedestrians or vehicles;
- Magnetic sensors (MEMS magnetometers) to monitor movement of metal objects such as vehicles;
- Acoustic sensors to detect targets by specific acoustic signatures (noise of engine, tracks, etc);
- X-Band Doppler radar sensors to detect movements of objects in a narrow field of view;
