Abstract:
Instances of bird strikes are serious threats during aircraft take-off and landing phases and their possible consequences include moderate to severe structural damage risks. In response, this research presents a Bird Detection and Deflection System that would greatly reduce such risks through the combined use of radar and thermal imaging to detect birds near the planes. The system is supplied with predictive function based on flight path of birds and Machine Learning with real-time notification to the operators.
The integrated humane bird dispersal system of the Bird Detection and Deflection System uses water cannons as an environmentally friendly solution that squirting birds safely away from essential flight areas. Connectivity with onboard avionics is used to communicate with pilots and provide early alert of any possible events and or decision support during important phases of the flight. The Bird Detection and Deflection System is designed to be operationally inexpensive and disrupt the airport environment as little as possible while providing significant safety benefits over conventional airport wildlife control. By minimizing bird strike occurrences, this system contributes to greater operational safety and better value for money beside directly assisting in the avoidance of these rush incidences and ensuring overall reliability for the aviation business as a whole, with the intended beneficiary being both carriers and their travelers.
