Accipiter Radar Technologies Inc., a North American industry leader in the development and deployment of avian radar systems for use at civil and military airports, has been awarded the contract for supply of their 3D avian radar system at Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Working with their regional partners, IPS Securex Pte Ltd and PT Industri Telekomunikasi Indonesia (INTI), the Accipiter avian radar system will be used to monitor bird activity in and around the approach and arrival flight corridors, providing tactical and strategic intelligence for airport staff to assess potential risks and act accordingly. The deployed system will include steerable, high powered acoustic hailing devices, developed by Ultra Electronics (USSI), which will be used to target flocks of birds and enable harassment with a variety of audible sounds.
Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport is operated by PT Angkasa Pura II and is one of the busiest airports in the region. “We are excited to be working with our regional partners and PT Angkasa Pura II to provide our proven 3D avian radar system for Jakarta airport” stated Simon Jerome, Accipiter’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “Jakarta will be the first airport in the region to embrace this innovative system and are setting a high standard for airports in the South East Asia.”
