3D bird detecting radars ready for IAF - Bangalore Mirror
The company is also developing
three other radars
OIS-AT claimed to have developed
the world's first 3D bird
detection and deterrence radar
The Indian Air Force is looking
for 45 radars that can detect
birds and also deter them to
drastically reduce the bird
menace that has caused several
air crashes in the past. A Noida-
based company, OIS Advanced
Technologies (OIS-AT) has
developed a radar that is claimed
to have surpassed the
parameters laid down by the IAF.
OIS-AT claimed to have developed
the world's first 3D bird
detection and deterrence radar
which has surpassed the
expectations that IAF had
expressed for meeting its
requirements at the various air
bases where its squadrons are
active across the country.
The radar, called 3D Bird
Detection, Monitoring and
Deterrence Radar System
(BDMDRS), successfully completed
its trials at IAF's Hindon air base
after the IAF issued request for
proposals (RFPs) to demonstrate
suitable radar for its
requisitioning.
Sanjay Bhandari, chairman &
managing director, OIS-AT,
claimed that IOS-AT was the only
Indian company in the bid with
three other competitors.
The IAF has not yet finalized the
deal but Bhandari is confident
that it would go through. He
plans to officially launch the
radar at Aero India 2015 on
February 19.
Bhandari said the 3D BDMDRS
provides all the air traffic
controllers with essential
information over a 12 km
diameter, up to 1,000 metre
altitude over the runway itself,
and up to 2,000 metres in the
entire area around the airport.
The processed 3D bird data is
automatically archived.
He explained that the radar's bird
deterrence options are based on
automated command, control
and communication system
which interfaces with the non-
lethal bird deterrent devices like
the long range acoustic device
and the bird control (eye safe)
laser systems. The first emits a
scary sound using a 'scare
cannon' while the latter scares
the bird by firing a laser to
confuse the bird.
The company is also developing
three other radars - foliage
penetration radar system (to
detect minefields, and buried
bombs); 3D multi-function multi-
node UAV detection radar
system; and the portable ground
surveillance radar (for border
patrolling).
