The invention provides a system method and vehicle for profiling the terrain ahead of a vehicle. The system comprises receiving means configured to receive sensor output data from a plurality of vehicle-mounted sensors, including at least one radar sensor and at least one acoustic sensor, each for receiving a reflected signal from the terrain ahead of the vehicle. A determining means is configured to determine at least one parameter from the sensor output data for the at least one radar sensor and the at least one acoustic sensor, and an image generation means is configured to generate an image of the terrain ahead of the vehicle based on the at least one parameter from the at least one radar sensor. A processing means enhances the clarity of the image based on the at least one parameter from the at least one acoustic sensor.
