3D bird detecting radars ready for IAF

Bangalore: The Indian Air Force is looking for 45 radars that can detect birds and also deter them to drastically reduce the bird menace that has caused several air crashes in the past. A Noida-based company, OIS Advanced Technologies (OIS-AT) has developed a radar that is claimed to have surpassed the parameters laid down by the IAF.
OIS-AT claimed to have developed the world's first 3D bird detection and deterrence radar which has surpassed the expectations that IAF had expressed for meeting its requirements at the various air bases where its squadrons are active across the country.
The radar, called 3D Bird Detection, Monitoring and Deterrence Radar System (BDMDRS), successfully completed its trials at IAF's Hindon air base after the IAF issued request for proposals (RFPs) to demonstrate suitable radar for its requisitioning.
Sanjay Bhandari, chairman & managing director, OIS-AT, claimed that IOS-AT was the only Indian company in the bid with three other competitors.
