PANAMA CITY, Fla. (PRWEB) August 04, 2022
DeTect Inc announced today the introduction of the world’s first dual function bird and drone radar operational on US Military Installations – MERLIN BDR-DDR. Developed in 2003 for real-time, tactical operational birdstrike avoidance, MERLIN now has TRUE3D for simultaneous bird and drone detecting capabilities.
The proven technology can be integrated with radar-directed electro-optic, infrared (EOIR) camera system and DroneWatcheräRF-DR radiofrequency drone detection & interdiction. The system comes in a fixed or mobile design, fully self-contained with all system hardware, software and integration included.
Recently returned from installing the system at a US Air Force Base in California, Project Manager Mike Bierman said “The dual configuration is a game changer for air bases and commercial airports that can now have a two-in-one system for tracking both birds and drones. DeTect’s dynamic multibeam TRUE3D radar scans and updates target data across the entire 3D volume, continually out to 5+ km in all weathers 24/7.”
