Natural Resource Management Applications
Understanding where wildlife is and how it interacts with the environment is essential to its management. Accipiter® Avian Radars are ideal tools for automatically monitoring and recording the movements of birds and bats at remote locations, both day and night. Generator-operated systems are designed to operate unattended for several days. The stored data can be retrieved at convenient intervals for analysis or transferred via a satellite network link.
Along with accurate time and location data associated with each bird or bat track, Accipiter® Avian Radars also provide information on the velocity, altitude and size of individual targets. This information, available exclusively from Accipiter® 3-D avian radars, is necessary to achieve the study objectives of some environmental applications. Accipiter® Avian Radars support a number of natural resource management applications including nocturnal monitoring, environmental assessments, and automated bird-deterrent systems.
