If you're looking for a 3D solution, and you're concerned with birds in a particular area, like a runway approach funnel, or a specific wind turbine(s), then 3D Fixed will do the job for you. 3D Fixed tracks birds 360 degrees around the radar in 2D, and in a fixed direction (forwards and backwards) in 3D.
The ROBIN 3D Fixed system consists of a horizontal S-band radar combined with a vertical X-band pulse radar. The horizontal S-band radar identifies the presence and number of birds in time, including their location, direction, speed and route, up to 10 kilometres away, all around, day and night.
The X-band radar covers a fixed vertical area of approximately 6 km. By combining both the horizontal and vertical images, 3D information is retrieved. This configuration is typically used in civil aviation for wildlife management and bird strike prevention at airports.
“As front-runner in radar ornithology, we want to work with state-of-the-art technology. We think Max is the most advanced avian radar of its time.”
“I am convinced that avian radar will become a self-evident part of next generation bird strike mitigation policies at larger civil airports. In part, because it allows us to objectively measure and use risk as a performance indicator, rather than the rare occurrence of incidents.”
“The Mainport Innovation Fund stimulates start-ups with innovative and sustainable products in aviation. ROBIN Radar has developed a system which detects birds at great distances.”
“Military aircraft fly low, fast and are extra sensitive for bird strikes. ROBIN systems are linked to our existing air defence radars to identify bird intensities up to 150 kilometres. Since we've started using this information, we've reduced the number of bird strikes by over 50%.”
“With this technology, ROBIN meets the growing need for more accurate and real-time information about movements of (large) birds in the vicinity of the airport.”
“Bird strikes are an increasing safety and economic concern.”
“Balancing wild life protection and passenger safety by reducing the bird strike risk needs an open dialogue between all involved. That should be based on facts. Avian radar has the capability to provide unbiased facts and is thus a vital element for the decision making process.”
“Having full 3D capabilities is crucial for us. That’s why we chose Max.”
“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.”
“ESA uses a win–win approach that promotes the added value of space in a fair and unbiased way, and supports the development of sustainable space-based services for the benefit of society. The successful operational outcome has proven that this can play a fascinating role in bringing together user interests and communities.”
