With two major production bases in Wuhan and Shenzhen, supported by the Nantong Boat Production Base for component integration, we achieve scaled and refined manufacturing of components to finished products. Notably, the Nantong base is equipped to design and manufacture vessels up to 30 meters, ensuring production capacity for diverse products such as unmanned boats. Additionally, the Zhoushan Marine Experimental Base provides specialized testing environments for geophysical detection technologies and product validation in marine applications.
In the market and partnership landscape, Shilong Technology's core competitiveness stems from its rare domestic capability to develop and manufacture a full range of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) systems. Our product matrix covers all scenarios—from basic 2D GPRs and high-precision 3D GPRs to efficient vehicle-mounted systems, UAV-compatible units for complex terrains, and intelligent autonomous-cruising GPR solutions. This advantage has secured our leading market share, enabling us to supply over 100 government procurement projects and establish long-term partnerships with hundreds of major enterprises (including China Railway Group, China Communications Construction Company, and China State Construction), top research institutions (such as Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan University, and Wuhan University of Technology), municipal agencies, and military organizations across China. These collaborations provide critical technical support for national infrastructure development. Beyond China, our reach extends to Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas, driving continuous growth in our global influence.
In terms of qualifications and reputation, the company has obtained ISO9001 quality management system certification, occupational health and safety management system certification, and environmental management system certification, establishing a full lifecycle quality control system. To date, the company holds over 30 patents and multiple administrative licenses. With standardized operations and outstanding technical achievements, it has earned an excellent reputation in the industry.
II. Patented Technology Builds a Moat, Leading Innovation in Ground Detection
Innovation is Shilong Technology's core competitive advantage. The development and iteration of its comprehensive ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology system exemplifies the company's technical strength. With years of deep expertise in GPR, Shilong has secured numerous national invention patents, utility model patents, and software copyrights. This has established a complete patent portfolio covering core algorithms, hardware design, and system integration across all product categories—from basic detection to intelligent autonomous navigation—ensuring superior product performance. As one of the few domestic companies offering full-category coverage including 2D, 3D, vehicle-mounted, drone-mounted, and autonomous navigation GPR systems, Shilong's technological breakthroughs address every scenario in ground detection.
Our company's proprietary core technology platform provides a unified, high-standard foundation for all product categories. Built on a fully digital architecture, it integrates software-controlled high-speed pulse transmitters and picosecond sampling technology with adaptive filtering algorithms to maintain signal stability across a wide temperature range of -20°C to 70°C, consistently setting the industry benchmark. With an IP65 rating, the platform delivers military-grade protection against dust, water, and shock. Each product category is further optimized for specific use cases, creating a distinct competitive advantage.
Across all product categories, breakthroughs in specialized technologies are anchored by a robust portfolio of core patents that build our technical moat: - **2D Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR):** Leverages mature signal processing algorithms to precisely locate subsurface targets. Ideal for areas inaccessible to radar vehicles, such as sidewalks and tight corners, providing a reliable solution for high-resolution, small-scale inspections. - **3D GPR:** Employs array antenna technology and multi-channel transmission to integrate radar data with GPS positioning. It captures bidirectional data from a single pass, significantly widening the detection swath and enhancing resolution. This enables rapid generation of 3D reality models, clearly revealing subsurface hazard features. - **"Vehicle-Mounted 3D GPR" Patent:** Features adjustable radar height to adapt to varying road conditions, drastically improving efficiency for large-scale scenarios like municipal roads. A single unit can cover thousands of square meters per day. - **UAV-Mounted GPR:** Overcomes terrain limitations by flying along pre-set routes equipped with LiDAR sensors. It penetrates dense vegetation to collect high-precision data, accurately identifying geological hazards in rugged mountainous areas. This addresses the low efficiency and narrow coverage of traditional manual surveys. - **Autonomous Cruise GPR:** Combines AI and unmanned control to enable automated route detection, real-time data transmission, and anomaly alerts. Designed for long-distance, unattended operations, it fills a critical gap in intelligent underground inspection. Additionally, the **"Dual-Channel Dual-Frequency GPR"** is equipped with dual-frequency antennas and rotating cleaning brushes to automatically clear surface debris and retract for protection. This further enhances detection accuracy and equipment safety across our product line. The deployment of these patented technologies not only drives the domestic upgrade of ground-penetrating radars but also bridges multiple technological gaps in niche sectors.
