Radar Detection of Birds | Cutting Edge AscendXYZ Avian Radar Provider

Company Profile

• AscendXYZ Avian Radar

  The AscendXYZ Avian Radar system is an end-to-end service, delivered as a mobile trailer solution that covers up to 150 km2. As soon as an external power source and internet connection are in place – the solution is operational. Our sophisticated algorithms enable automated segmentation and identification of birds. The results are presented in an understandable and accessible format in the AscendXYZ web-portal to the users at your airport.

  Through a continuous identification and measurement of bird activity AscendXYZ Avian Radar solution offers you:

  • Bird activity forecast, that enables you to plan appropriate mitigative actions and staff effort during high-risk periods without interrupting airport operations.
  • Real-time bird control guidance: The AscendXYZ Avian Radar solution evaluates and relays bird activity to your bird control units in real time. The information enables bird controllers to see where and when birds enter the operations area. This allows them to quickly and efficiently disperse the birds, making the airport area unattractive for birds to feed.
  • Area management: The solution gives you a clear and thorough overview of the bird activity in the airport operations area combined with runway crossing and near-miss analyses. This overview provides you with the foundation for a consistent evaluation of the airport area management plan.
  • Bird hot-spot identification: By analysing the historical radar data, bird activity hot spots and local migration routes can be identified, documented, and included in the risk assessment. As your bird activity hot spots are identified, the risk can be evaluated by performing on-site visits and by analysing the areas using the AscendXYZ 13 km satellite survey.

• 13 km Satellite survey

  Imagine a 13 km survey that includes satellite monitoring, automated reports and a specialist assessment that can be used as a part of your wildlife risk management program.
  With the Ascend 13 km satellite monitoring service, we will provide your airport with:

  • A complete 13 km survey;
  • Landscape change identification;
  • Off-airfield wildlife registration;

  Your airport will frequently be mapped by the Sentinel-2 Earth observation satellite constellation, developed to perform terrestrial observations such as landscape changes. The satellite data will be made available to you.

  The digital satellite maps let you, or our wildlife specialist, identify changes to the safeguarding zone, that impact wildlife behaviour. The 13 km monitoring module provides analysis and site registration capabilities, that allow you to act and mitigate the risk. With the Ascend solution, you get a complete overview of the 530 km2 safeguarding zone.

  You will be receiving pdf reports comparing current and past satellite images. Maps are divided into grids, making it easy to locate relevant changes. You can view it both as a digital map, or by opening the “13 km report”. The reports should be signed and dated by you on the last page, and then saved as documentation.
