Abstract
Sergey Ivashov
The article describes the history of research and development of surface-penetrating radar in the USSR, starting from the 60s and ending today in Russia and neighboring states formed after the collapse of the USSR. It reports key applications ranging from Antarctic ice and soil exploration to subsequent use in humanitarian demining, non-destructive testing and cultural heritage site surveys. The paper is under line the outstanding role played in the initial period of this technology formation by Prof. M.I. Finkelstein and his colleagues. Their research had a significant impact on the subsequent development of ground penetrating radar in modern Russia and neighboring countries.
