Accipiter Radar To Introduce New 360° 3D Avian Radar

Announcement Will Be Made At The 2009 Bird Strike North America Conference

Accipiter Radar will introduce its latest avian radar technology at the 2009 Bird Strike North America Conference being held in Victoria, British Columbia later this month. As exclusive title sponsor of this event, Accipiter continues to take a leadership role in the innovation and development of avian radar as well as sharing information with aviation and wildlife mitigation professionals to reduce the danger of bird strikes to aviation safety.

Multi-beam technology developed by Accipiter provides 360° 3D capabilities with information accuracy that Accipiter says will greatly improve the potential of avian radar to provide safety benefits in civil airport environments. “The 2009 Bird Strike North America Conference brings together attendees from around the globe who are eager to learn about the latest developments in bird strike mitigation.” Dr. Tim J. Nohara, President & CEO of Accipiter Radar noted. “We’ve made significant progress in avian radar and we’re delighted to introduce the world’s only 360° 3D Avian Radar technology at this event” he added.

Accipiter Radar recently completed the installation and approval of a customized Accipiter radar network at Toronto City Center Airport, which provides automated alerts to controllers when vessels enter marine exclusion zones that could conflict with take-offs and landings. This is the first time a North American airport has incorporated this technology in the tower for operational use. The FAA chose the same Accipiter radars for its avian radar assessment program being undertaken by CEAT (Center of Excellence for Airport Technology). Conclusions of this assessment will provide a foundation for an Advisory Circular from the FAA regarding standards for avian radar use at civil airports. Accipiter operates avian radar systems at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Chicago O’Hare and JFK International, New York under this assessment program.

In January of this year the ditching of US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River, New York brought considerable attention to the dangers of bird strikes to aviation. In July the NTSB released conclusions after investigating an incident in which a Cessna 500 struck one or more American White Pelicans in Oklahoma in March 2008. These included the determination that reliable information about birds likely to be encountered near airport operations is necessary for pilots who want to minimize bird-strike damage. Commercially available avian radar has been proven to play an important role in providing this information that is crucial to aviation safety.
