MSR Esprit is the fastest scanning slope monitoring radar available. Using Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, it captures an entire 90° × 60° area in less than two seconds, providing unmatched real-time slope stability data, even under challenging weather or fast-moving slope conditions.
Esprit uses Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology to achieve fast, repetitive updates of the entire slope. Unlike periodic scanning systems, atmospheric change is measured at near real-time intervals to ensure effective mitigation of interference. Engineered for slopes prone to brittle or fast-moving instabilities, it offers reliable performance in harsh conditions, including temperature inversions and microclimates. By reducing atmospheric-induced errors, Esprit delivers an accurate true movement profile.
The system is a staring array, meaning that the antenna is deployed in a stationary position. The resolution is highly refined with an operating range between 50 and 4 000 m. The system is fully georeferenced in order to allow for full 3D identification of alarming points.
The advantage of using a MIMO architecture is that there is continuous observation of an area by means of fast repetitive observation, as opposed to a periodic scanning of the area. This means that atmospheric change is measured at a near real time update rate, thereby enabling the effective mitigation of atmospheric interference.
MSRIV Esprit® is suitable for pit slope conditions where there are both highly brittle and fast moving instability, which may be complex in nature, in the form of differential movement rates across the unstable portion of the slope. Additionally, pit slopes that experience inclement weather conditions, such as temperature inversions and microclimates, will benefit from this technique of removing atmospheric-induced errors, resulting in a more accurate and precise true movement profile.
The use of a MIMO architecture enables continuous observation of an area, as opposed to periodic scanning. This enables atmospheric change to be measured at near real-time update rates, thereby enabling the effective mitigation of atmospheric interference.
