OIS-AT readies 3D bird radar for commercial launch

OIS Advanced Technologies (OIS-AT), a part of New Delhi-based OIS Group, is currently in the process of commercialising what it claims to be the world’s first true 3D avian (bird) detection radar system, said director Bimal Sareen.
“The system has already gone through trial runs with the Indian Airforce. We are now awaiting bids to be called for by the latter, even as we are receiving enquires by airport authorities from other countries,” he told mediapersons at India Aviation 2014 here.
Developed, designed and manufactured by OIS-AT, the 3D avian system has a detection range of 11 kilometre for a large bird and six kilometre for a small bird.
Unlike 2D radars, the new system provides all the information essential to flight safety officials and air traffic controllers like simultaneous altitude, position and vector of the birds over the entire airport airspace.
