The Future I-160 is able to detect different ground structures and natural features of the ground. It's a professional measuring instrument with a multi-sensor antenna of 50 cm width. Inside are 16 elliptical area multipoint sensors (EAMS) with a resolution of 0,015 µT and a sampling rate of 50 Hz. This very unique multi-sensor array is able to reflect scanned ground data in a graphical representation within the Visualizer 3D software. Thus the device is able to detect different structures and natural features of the ground like for example:

• metal canisters, tanks, boxes
• voids, backfillings, grave chambers, caves and tombs
• steel pipes and water conduits
• water deposits

The Future I-160 is a professional measuring instrument with a very high resolution antenna of 50 cm width. Compared to the Future 2005 with its 100 cm antenna the Future I-160 has a four times higher density of measured data. Compared to the Earth Imager with its 16x lower resolution the device is most suitable for the professional, archaeological and industrial use. This fact is reflected also in the graphical representation inside the Visualizer 3D software.

Detailed graphics are the basis for an exact determination of the size and approximate depth of objects. Due to the compact size of the unit and antenna, it is completely suitable for pre-construction sites and uneven terrain. Locating all possible sub-surface anomalies and hazards is a must. Besides the usual graphical representation that is provided by every OKM unit, the I-160 has two additional features allowing it more flexibility in the field. On the one hand using the live mode for horizontal scans enables the user to quickly and in real time determine a sub-surface anomaly. Buried pipes both of a metallic nature like ductile iron or stainless steel, or non-metallic nature like PVC, C900, HDPE can be quickly seen and identified.

The device includes the following functionality:

• accoustical magnetometer
• high resolution ground scans in 3D
• live picture with horizontal ground scan antenna
• live picture with vertical pin pointing antenna
• graphical analysis on a computer

Because of the integrated microprocessor technology ground balance, depth measurement and data storage will be performed automatically by the device. The evaluation of the measured data takes place at the computer where the scanned area can be analyzed in a three-dimensional graphic with the help of the software Visualizer 3D.
