About Orfeus

ORFEUS is an EU-supported project being undertaken by a consortium of nine organisations consisting of equipment developers, user organisations and academic institutions.

It has two aims:

to improve the performance of GPR deployed on the
surface to provide underground maps
to develop a new radar to provide a look-ahead capability
for Horizontal Directional Drilling equipment

The project, which began in late 2006, will run for three years.
It is valued at €5M, 50% of which is contributed by the European Commission’s 6th R&D Framework Programme.
