Unauthorised drones are a safety and security risk at airports. Luckily, we have radars that can help you detect, classify, and track both birds and drones.
To find out more about our networked drone detection radars check out our dedicated drone detection page.
It hasn't escaped us that COVID-19 has seriously affected the aviation sector. We understand that this is a difficult time for many of us, and that we all need to adapt.
That's why we're currently offering trial options and flexible pricing to civil airports. Do get in touch with us if you're interested in these options.
At airports, preventing birds striking aircraft is an on-going challenge.
Our range of bird radars track the exact flight paths of both flocks and individual birds up to 10 kilometres.
They automatically detect and log hundreds of birds simultaneously, including their size, speed, direction and flight path.
With our avian radars, you'll be tracking in real-time, 24/7, all around your airport.
You’ll have all the information you need to mitigate bird strikes, and even intervene, when necessary.
And of course, unlike human observers, our radars don’t need to rest, and they can see in all weather, day or night.

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
