Key Challenges at Airports
Icon illustrating bird strike risks from flocks on airport runways

Bird Strike Risks

Flocks on runways and ponds raise bird strike hazards for aviation.

Icon showing birds adapting to static deterrents and ineffective stimuli

Fast Bird Adaptation 　

Single-mode deterrents lose effect as birds adapt to static stimuli.

Icon representing high labor costs for 24/7 manual bird patrols

Labor-Intensive Patrols

Round-the-clock manual monitoring drives high labour expense.

Icon of radar shield ensuring bird control hardware avoids aircraft navigation disruption

Aviation Safety Rules

Airport hardware must avoid interference with aircraft radar and signal systems.

Airport Bird Deterrent System Configuration

Deterrent for runway buffer zones and pond areas. Alternating acoustic signals deter birds and burrowing rodents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pre-Procurement FAQs

View All FAQs

What sounds does it play to drive birds off the movement area?

System combines ultrasonic waves, cannon blasts, authentic bird distress calls, and various sounds birds fear. Sounds play in randomized sequences—not fixed loops—so gulls, crows, lapwings, and other airport hazard birds cannot habituate.

Can it run automatically during peak departure and arrival periods?

Scheduled activation windows match peak movement banks or patrol shifts, and the system runs automatically on preset intervals—no operator needed on the airside each time.

Is LPG ignition safe on an active airside with strict fuel regulations?

System uses standard LPG with remote ignition from the vehicle cab. Blast pressure and interval are adjustable to comply with aerodrome safety zones—no operator approach to the barrel during firing.

Does the cannon cause birds to habituate over time?

System fires with variable interval, variable intensity, and only when birds are confirmed in the zone—not on a fixed timer. Industry wildlife hazard guidance (e.g., CAAF) notes that cannons fired without associated negative experience cause rapid habituation; targeted firing when birds occupy specific movement areas preserves deterrence.
