MAX® Avian Radar
MAX® Avian Radar
Our flagship bird detection radar. It's taken more than four years, millions of Euros, and thousands of coffees. The result is mind-blowing. We quite simply had no other choice, but to call it MAX®.
MAX® has the fastest rotation speed in the market, resulting in track updates every second. This allows uniquely detailed 3D visualisation of bird flight paths, including exports to Google Earth.
MAX® is a single sensor system, providing full 3D information of all birds in the nearby environment. Height information is provided for all bird tracks, and there's practically no cone of silence above the radar. Our newest bird detection radar offers true full 3D coverage, meaning you get height data for ALL bird tracks, all around the radar, all of the time.
MAX® has been built to monitor birds from the start. That's its entire purpose. The antennas are designed explicitly with avian targets in mind. It finally brings phased array radar technology into the hands of bird control units and ornithologists. Bird movements are displayed in real-time on a computer or mobile device (both iOS and Android).
MAX® has minimal infrastructure requirements. The computer servers can be placed in already existing server rooms, meaning no shelter or housing is required at the radar location itself. All MAX® needs is standard power and ethernet.
But developing new hardware isn't the only thing we've done. Because our customers often need to convert bird data into reports and KPIs, we've produced an entirely new tool, just for you. Now you can make easy to understand and appealing graphics, in a user-friendly software environment. Just select the variables and time period you want, and the tool will immediately generate impressive graphical representations.

“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.”
