Description
The MAX® full 3D radar system is purpose-designed to identify and track small objects. Its stateof-the-art software allows continuous bird monitoring, delivering real-time (full 3D) actionable information and essential insights for operational, tactical, and strategic risk mitigation.
The Radar system detects and track birds with unprecedented certainty and accuracy. Targets are categorized into small, medium, and large and are presented within our user-friendly interface software. Classification is based on the Radar Cross Section (RCS). This system could function as the core foundation, within the total solution.
