A Report of Test Results of the 94 GHz Bird Detection Radar (BIRDAR) (trademark) at DFW Airport

Abstract

A 94 GHz radar was developed under the Dual Use Science and Technology (DUST) program sponsored by the Federal Aviation Agency and the U.S. Air Force, AFRL/SNRT. The radar was developed by WaveBand Corporation. The University of Illinois Center of Excellence in Airport Technology (CEAT) provided support for the testing and evaluation of the 94 GHz radar designated BIRDAR" by the WaveBand Corporation. The radar system was tested at several locations in California, and a major testing campaign was conducted at the Dallas/Forth Worth International Airport (DFW), September 17-15, 2004.
