Dallas Love Field Addresses Bird Strikes With High Tech

City Council May Spend $1.2 Million On Detection System

The number of bird strikes at Dallas Love Field is on the rise, so the city council is considering a high-tech solution that would detect birds as much as five miles from the airport. So far in 2017, there have been more than 150 bird strikes at Love Field, according to airport statistics.

The Dallas Morning News reports that the high number of incidents is what has prompted the city council to consider to $1.2 million investment in a bird detection system from a company called Pharovision. The system uses optical and infrared sensors to detect and track birds up to five miles from the airport, according to the company. When birds are detected, airport officials and air traffic controllers are alerted to the potential danger.

Along with the initial investment would come a $550,000 bill for an extended warranty and ongoing maintenance, according to the report. The cost would be paid from the airport's operating funds.

The Pharovision system would also detect drones operating illegally within five miles of Love Field.
