The race is on to harness sustainable energy before the effects of climate change become irreversible. The world is looking to different energy sources to mitigate the growing problem of global warming and to secure a future for generations to come. Wind energy is at the forefront of this green revolution and is harnessed by wind farms across the world, both on and offshore.

The harsh, offshore environment presents new and unique challenges to radar maintenance, upkeep, and performance. Radars are used at offshore wind farms to monitor and assess the farm’s environmental impact, particularly on birds and their habitats, accurately and safely. Their ability to be present and running on-site 24/7 makes them critically important to remotely controlling the turbines and reducing bird mortality.

Drone activity is at an all-time high. With more affordable and accessible consumer drone tech and the COVID-19 pandemic acting as key catalysts, 2020 saw record numbers of restricted drone activity reported in the news. And drones aren’t going anywhere. In the U.S. alone, the drone market is predicted to grow from $4.4 billion in 2018 to $63.6 billion by 2025.

It's estimated that around 4,000 species of birds regularly migrate, which amounts to 40% of the total bird population worldwide. But due to an increasing lack of space, the best wind farm locations often overlap with migration routes. If poorly sited or ineffectively monitored, wind farms can create considerable problems for migrating birds. They can disrupt crucial migration routes, cause collisions, and increase bird fatalities.
