MAX Bird Detection Radar for Civil Aviation

Spot bird hazards early, track them in real time, and give your safety team the data to respond faster. MAX empowers your ATC operations, equipping bird controllers and hazard management teams with real-time data they can trust.

  • 360° coverage in full 3D, with accurate altitude data on every track
  • 1-second scan rate (60 RPM) for continuous airspace awareness
  • ADS-B integration overlays live aircraft flight blocks onto bird tracks
  • Automated alarm zones on critical approach and departure corridors
  • Post-incident replay to review near-miss scenarios and refine safety protocols

Bird Strikes Cost Civil Aviation Millions Every Year

How confident are you that your team can detect bird hazards at night, in fog, or across a multi-runway site?

Visual observation is an essential part of any wildlife hazard management programme, but it has natural limits – coverage drops when visibility does, and altitude is difficult to judge from the ground. At the same time, regulators expect wildlife hazard management backed by objective data, not just observation logs.

Adding 3D radar to the mix closes these gaps.

Why Robin Radar?

MAX tracks bird activity across your full airfield in 3D, giving your team altitude data that visual observation alone can't provide.

3D

Bird Tracking

Each return provides position, altitude, speed, direction, and size data, giving your team everything they need to judge whether a bird poses a collision risk.

360°

Coverage

With a rotation speed of 60 RPM, MAX completes a full sweep every second – eliminating blind spots so you can see birds approaching from any direction within a single scan cycle.

15km

Instrumented Range

A single radar covers approach and departure corridors well beyond the airfield boundary, giving your team early warning of inbound bird activity.

40+

Years of radar expertise

Decades of real-world deployments have shaped MAX's classification algorithms, clutter filtering, and reporting tools to give you more accurate insights.
