The GroundSweeper-3 was a sensor unit employed by the Galactic Empire and manufactured by Tana Ire. It was an omniprobe sensor array and was usually mounted on a variety of ground vehicles. The device resembled a segmented dome and could be easily seen when placed atop weapons platforms.

The GroundSweeper-3 worked by making low-level scans magnetically keyed to a planet's gravitational center. This allowed it to detect movement even when the target was outside the unit's line of sight. Although terrain provided no protection against its scans, the GroundSweeper-3 had a maximum altitude limit of 2 meters. For this reason, the GlobeScan was often used in conjunction with other sensor systems, such as the GlobeScan and UniScan sensor system, especially in defense of Rebel Alliance bases.
