The Yugoslav army, for its part, has little night-fighting ability and lacks ground radar to protect its exposed checkpoints.
The technology processes remote-sensing data, including data from the LANDSAT and RADAR satellites, in combination with ground truth data provided by a ground penetrating radar and other information drawn from geological, hydrogeological, geographical, hydrological and climate data and, when dealing with deep aquifers, seismological data.
The team will use ground-penetrating radar to help find the best places to dig.
This autonomous, solar-powered robot carries a ground-penetrating radar to study how snow accumulates, adding layer upon layer to the ice sheet over time.

As its name suggests, it works by broadcasting a radar wave into the ground and interpreting (as any radar does) what is reflected back.
Less than a mile above the crater, it sweeps the surface with ground-probing radar and begins its descent: a hundred miles per hour, fifty, twenty.
The Air Force's fleet of 75 Predators will likely be the first to carry ground-penetrating radar so new that it has yet to be included on any equipment.
In 2004, he conducted an electromagnetic survey of the site with the help of Dr Adam Booth, then of the University of Leeds, along with a further ground-penetrating radar survey.
Using a ground-piercing radar sensor aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a team of scientists created 3-D maps of an equatorial region known as Elysium Planitia and the channels that run underneath the plains.
With the use of ground-penetrating radar and electrical resistivity tomography, they've unearthed evidence to suggest that a spot on the southern coast of Spain, just north of Cadiz, played host to what may have been human society's first metropolis.
That makes Raytheon, which produces missiles, defence electronics, radar and ground surveillance systems, especially attractive.
During the war a spell working on the development of radar helped ground some of his ideas in fact.
Every commercial flight that takes off from the United States is currently monitored by a radar-based ground system that has been in place since WWII.
He has now also delayed funding for ground-based interceptor and radar sites in Poland and the Czech Republic for defense against Iranian missile launchers.
Unless it comes off, Curiosity's descent radar cannot see the ground.
BBC: Mars Curiosity rover success depends on 'crazy' landing
Scientists can already study earthquakes from space, in particular through the use of radar to map the deformation of the ground that results when faults rupture.
But like radar technology, ADS-B currently relies on ground stations to relay information, making it useless over remote areas.
If operated from a single site (perhaps in Grand Forks, North Dakota) in conjunction with one or more new, ground-based radars and other, existing early-warning radar systems, these weapons would have the ability to provide some protection to most of the continental United States.
The Civil Aviation Authority said helicopters in London have only limited radar help and fly mostly using visual reference points on the ground.
