The possibilities of utilization of mobile pulsed radar sensors

The risk of collision between birds and aircrafts has been known since the time when birds and aircrafts started to occupy the same airspace. The majority of bird strikes today occur at or around airports. The paper analyses a possibility of bird and other object detection in airfields using pulsed radar sensor. The paper deals with the possibilities of utilisation of mobile pulsed radar sensor. There are analyzed possibilities of small object detection by pulsed radar sensor. The results of detection possibilities of small objects and real raw digitized radar data are presented. In the paper there are derived formulas for probability of object detection focusing on small objects. There are presented some results of radar cross section analyses. The paper presents some results achieved in the project of applied research.
