The Mistral Handheld Ground Penetrating Radar (HH-GPR) is designed for portability and ease of use in various operational environments. Here are the key specifications regarding its weight and portability:
Weight: The handheld GPR weighs less than 5 kg (approximately 11 lbs), making it lightweight and easy to carry for extended periods.
Portability: The GPR is integrated on a rugged telescopic wand that measures 1.6 meters in length when fully extended, and it can collapse to 0.6 meters for convenient transport and storage. This adjustable length allows users to operate it in different positions, such as standing, kneeling, or lying down, enhancing its usability in challenging terrains like jungles or non-motorable paths .
These features make the Mistral HH-GPR an effective tool for military and special forces operations, particularly in mine detection and clearance tasks.
