Research on Radar Avian Detection for Aviation

The bird strike hazard is a worldwide problem to aviation,which has received prevalent attention from international academe.The studying of avian detection based on radar has made much progress and some practical radar avian surveillance systems have been set up.A survey of research on radar avian detection,including progress actuality of foreign radar avian detection system,the characteristics of bird echo and the method of identification and detection,are presented.The new research are proposed in three aspects,Geographic Information Systems(GIS),Artificial Neural Network(ANN) and computer network,which are combined with radar avian detection system to set up a high-efficient,real-time,3D radar avian detection network.Finally,several research topics in future are suggested.
