Geoptic joined industry representatives, international delegates and military engineers at the UK Military Engineering Showcase, held at the Royal Engineers Museum in Chatham on 5 and 6 October 2026.
At its stand, Geoptic hosted briefings on how muon imaging can add information when military engineers assess ground or structures that are difficult to inspect directly.
Subsurface information for military engineering
Muon imaging measures naturally occurring cosmic-ray muons as they pass through structures and ground. The measurements can provide information about density variations and hidden conditions, adding another source of evidence alongside existing surveys and inspections.
Muon imaging can provide diagnostic information about structural and subsurface conditions, helping military engineers build a clearer picture of areas they cannot inspect directly.
Event programme
Monday evening featured industry sessions and networking. Tuesday's programme included presentations and capability demonstrations for international delegates and UK military attendees.
Geoptic met visitors to discuss where muon imaging could support their engineering challenges.
