In this aviation field-related content, the "Avian Radar" is actually a bird traffic control radar. Speaking of this bird traffic control radar, many people who don’t know much about it will be a little confused. It is not the same thing as the aircraft traffic control radar that we are usually familiar with.

Let’s talk about this basic concept first. Avian Radar is mainly designed to solve possible conflicts between bird flight and various human activities, especially aircraft flight activities. For example, there are always birds flying around the airport. Birds flying over may bring huge risks to aircraft taking off and landing. After all, if birds collide with high-speed aircraft, the consequences will be disastrous.

Next, let’s dismantle this key content carefully. From the perspective of functional modules, this bird traffic control radar has a monitoring module first. This monitoring module plays a key role. It can accurately monitor the position of birds, as well as flight speed, approximate flight height and other data. For example, we can accurately detect a group of birds flying toward the runway at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour two kilometers away from the airport runway. Through this monitoring function, airport staff can know the movement of bird intrusions in advance.

Let’s talk about the recognition and analysis module. This module is amazing. It can carefully analyze the detected signals and make an identification. For example, it is possible to distinguish whether it is a small group of domestic pigeons flying by, or a larger group of black birds passing by. Through such detailed identification, different countermeasures can be formulated according to different types and scales of these situations. If there is no serious danger to the small flock of pigeons, there is no need to be so nervous. If it is identified that a large number of large migratory birds are flying close to the airport, this should be taken very seriously.

Then let’s talk about the control processing module. Once a situation is detected and identified, the control processing module will start working. It needs to be matched with various early warning equipment, such as devices that can activate sound and light alarms to remind workers on the ground to pay attention, and provide global procurement services for weak current intelligent products! . Then, some driving equipment may be linked to get busy. For example, according to a pre-set program, start the bird-repelling speaker to play some sounds that the birds hate to hear, or emit interference light and other means to drive away the birds that are about to pose a threat. Some more complex radar systems can also be deeply linked with other equipment around the airport, such as camera systems, to ensure flight safety in all aspects.

Let’s add a lot of details in it through some question and answer sessions. Let’s ask the first question. Someone asked what is the monitoring range of this bird traffic control radar? Generally speaking, the general range can reach several square kilometers or even larger, and it has a lot to do with the transmission power of the device. But generally it can cover a large area, probably a large area around the airport, and it can be closely monitored. A more accurate radar device can even detect bird activity within a surrounding area of ​​30 square kilometers.

The second question some people may ask is, is this radar accurate when identifying birds? Well, under normal circumstances, advanced radar systems rely on complex and sophisticated algorithm technology to achieve a very good level of recognition accuracy. Basically, there is no big problem in identifying large bird groups and clusters of birds with obvious characteristics. Occasionally there will be some small errors, but through continuous improvement and optimization of equipment and other measures, this problem can be reduced to a minimum.

There is another question that you must be curious about. Does this radar have high environmental requirements? In fact, the tolerance of Haita to the environment is relatively high, and the general temperature range and humidity range will basically not affect the function too much. If you encounter a very bad blizzard or particularly strong sandstorm, the performance may be slightly reduced, but as long as the maintenance is in place, it will basically work normally without any problem.

Some people must be worried that if the bird radar fails, it will have a great impact on flight safety? Of course, we need to pay attention to this, but manufacturers will set up a lot of backup measures so that if some minor failures occur, they will not lead to immediate complete failure. There are also some emergency settings to ensure that there will not be a major security threat immediately!

Generally speaking, I personally feel that this bird traffic control radar is irreplaceable in ensuring flight safety. When many new airports are being built, this kind of advanced equipment should be deployed in time. I really hope that the technology will be further improved to make it more perfect!
