In this paper, trade-offs associated with critical issues involved with ground penetrating radar (GPR) techniques are addressed. The proliferation of subsurface sanctuaries has increased the need for remote sensing techniques providing for the accurate detection and identification of deeply buried objects. A new concept is proposed to use subsurface radiators, delivered as earth penetrating non-explosive, electronic “e-bombs”, as the source of waveform diverse transmissions for GPR experiments using ground contact or airborne receivers. The goal is to achieve improved subsurface surveillance characteristics of buried objects. Three-dimensional imaging techniques for deeply buried targets are developed based on two-dimensional synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data collection techniques.
