Affordable, Real-Time, 3-D Avian Radar Networks For Centralized North American Bird Advisory Systems, Peter Weber, Tim J. Nohara, Sidney A. Gauthreaux Jr.
2005 Bird Strike Committee-USA/Canada 7th Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC
Affordable avian radar systems are being developed for Natural Resource Management (NRM) and bird aircraft strike hazard (BASH) applications. Recently [I], the authors have reported on mobile avian radar system requirements and on a system design that is state-of-the-art. In the present paper, the system design of a single avian radar is expanded in scope to address 3-D avian radar networks. These are essential to fully realize an affordable yet high-performance North American bird advisory system. The proposed avian radar network design includes antenna, transceiver and signal processor designs for the avian radar sensor, network design, sensor integration, and system …
