Civil Airports Application
Civil airports, especially large and medium hubs, are extremely busy supporting the safe maintenance of flight schedules that travelers rely on. Wildlife biologists and air operations personnel cooperate to manage bird-strike risk.
Accipiter® Avian Radar information networks provide these professionals with the real-time and historical data and tools they need to understand bird activity day and night. The quantitative nature of this information supports management decisions at all levels.
Accipiter's Total Coverage™ Technology provides complete cylindrical coverage of the entire aerosphere with user programmable scan patterns. Our M3™ multi-radar, multi-mission, multi-user information system includes tools for interactive and automated analysis of daily and seasonal patterns of activity, and aids in localizing wildlife attractants on and near the airfield.
Wireless laptop displays and mobile devices supply real-time information to wildlife managers while they are on the airfield or anywhere. Specialized displays present a concise picture of the situation to airport operations, ATC and airport management.
