BANGALORE, INDIA: In order to reduce the threat of collision between birds and aircrafts (commonly known as bird strikes) during takeoff and landing, NEC has come out with the “Bird Position Detection Solution”. This solution will continuously monitors the vicinity of airports for the presence of birds. This solution has already been adopted by Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport).
In recent years, bird-strikes have caused an increasing number of problems with aircraft. Resolving this issue has become a major point of concern for airports, which are responsible for ensuring a high level of safety. The solution helps to detect the position of birds and collects data on the classification of birds found in and around airport facilities, claims the company.
Currently, a large number of airports employ “bird patrol” staff to visually monitor their surroundings and activate protective control measures when birds are detected. However, this method is subject to many limitations that include human fatigue and lack of manpower.
