GPS World, Dec, 2004
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers selected Condor Earth Technologies Inc. to implement an automated real-time GPS monitoring system to measure within 1 millimeter the vertical and horizontal displacements along the crest of the Chief Joseph Dam on the Columbia River in Bridgeport, Washington.
Condor is deploying five GPS sensors along the crest of the intake structure of the dam, the second-largest producer of hydroelectric power operated by the Corps, and one GPS sensor on a nearby active landslide. Integrating one GPS reference station, the monitoring project will closely mirror one completed by Condor two years ago at Libby Dam in Montana.

The Chief Joseph Dam GPS monitoring system will incorporate Condor 3D Tracker real-time data-processing software, Thales Navigation's AC-12 single-frequency GPS receivers, and WILANVIP 110-24 2.4 GHz digital radios, and will be backed by Condor support and data analysis. Condor has several such active monitoring projects for continuous deformation surveillance around the world.
