The  IBIS-ArcSAR system is particularly suitable for terrain and structural monitoring applications,  it  aims  to  detect  quasi-static  displacements  over  long  time periods.  The  performance  of  the  IBIS-ArcSAR  system  depends  on  the  type  of configuration  used  and  on  the  operative  measurement  conditions  (above all, related to the reflectivity of the area under investigation); however, the best performance characteristics can be defined as follows: For Ku band system:  maximum operational distance: 5 km;  field of view: 360°;  acquisition time: 40 seconds;  image resolution in distance: 0.75 m (EU/FCC limits);  angular resolution: 5 mrad (5 m at 1 km);  accuracy  in  measuring  displacements  in  the  viewing  direction:  0.1 mm  (for  points  with  a  good  reflectivity  –  SNR  >  50  dB  –  and depending on the impact of atmospheric variation on the measure). The IBIS-ArcSAR system offers the following advantages over the currently available monitoring systems (GPS, total stations, extensometers): IBIS-ArcSAR permits the operator to perform remote monitoring of the area (remote sensing), without needing to access the area to install sensors or optical targets; IBIS-ArcSAR supplies a continuous displacement map of  the entire area. It measures  simultaneously  all  the  displacements  of  the  entire  area illuminated  by  the  antenna  beam,  which  can  cover  over  hundreds  of thousands of square meters; IBIS-ArcSAR directly measures the displacements of the territory of interest near real time; IBIS-ArcSAR  can  be  used  both  day  and  night,  and  in  almost  all  weather conditions; IBIS-ArcSAR  doesn’t  require  the  continuous  presence  of  an  operator  and can be controlled by wireless connection. This possibility of performing long distance monitoring, without needing to install sensors signifies that investigations can be performed even when:  the area of interest is not accessible;  the area of interest is particularly large and would therefore require many in situ sensors. In  addition,  when  the  monitoring  activity  is  required  to  assure  personnel safety  in  emergency  situations,  the  possibility  of  performing  remote monitoring may be essential to protect lives. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show a view of the four side of IBIS-ArcSAR system. The basic components are:  ArcSAR Acquisition Unit: made of Positioner, Radar Sensor, Antennas, Pointing Camera, Panoramic Camera and GPS;  Positioner: it is device that allows the movement in azimuth and  tilt  of  sensor  and  the  panoramic  camera.  The movements  are  controlled  by  the  Controller  SW.  The

The radar view can therefore be 360° wide.   Radar  Sensor:  it  generates,  transmits  and  receives  the electromagnetic signal. The Radar Sensor is installed at the edge  of  the  positioner  arm.  The  movement  of  the  Radar Sensor around the positioner permits the utilization of the ArcSAR  technique,  which  obtains  a  3D  image  of  the scenario;  Antennas: proper antennas are required to make the Radar Sensor properly transmitting and receiving RF signals;   Pointing  Camera:  mounted  right  over  the  Radar  Sensor,  it helps  to  easily  define  the  area  of  interest.  A  video streaming is in fact integrated in the Controller Software to get  a  real  time  feedback  of  the  Radar  current  pointing direction during the session setup.  Panoramic  Camera:  installed  below  the  radar  trolley,  it provides  360°  high-resolution  geocoded  images  of  the scenario;  GPS:  to  automatically  retrieve  the  information needed for the geocoding (Radar position and bearing);  ArcSAR Supply Unit: this module is in charge of giving power supply and  control  to  the  Acquisition  Unit  and  to  other  optional  devices such as WIFI antenna and weather station; It is composed of:  Laptop  PC:  it  is  equipped  with  the  system  management software  (IBIS  Controller  Software).  This  is  used  to  setup the  acquisition  parameters,  store  the  data  and  transmit them to the control room;  Battery  pack:  this  is  the  main  source  for  supplying  the Acquisition System and all the other devices;  Generator: it is the main source of power used to recharge the  battery  pack  when  connection  to  the  grid  is  not available. It can be configured to automatically start when required;  ArcSAR  Trailer:  it  permits  the  mobilization  of  the  IBIS-ArcSAR  and  gives extreme stability  to  the  Acquisition Unit during the monitoring session thanks to hydraulic jacks.  Integrated  Solar  Panels:  for  recharging  the  battery  pack therefore reducing the generator running time; The optional components are:  Wind  turbine:  for  recharging  the  battery  pack  therefore reducing the generator running time;  Weather  Station:  it  provides  information  about  the atmospheric conditions;  Wi-Fi Bridge: it permits data transmission from IBIS-ArcSAR to the Control Room;  Low temperature kit: it allows the IBIS-ArcSAR operation in extremely cold environments;
