About
DeTect, Inc. specializes in applied radar remote sensing technologies and systems for aviation safety, security and surveillance, environmental protection, supporting projects worldwide with over 1100 radar systems installed and operating to date.
DeTect’s MERLIN Bird Detection Radar (BDR) system, introduced in 2003, is the first production model bird strike radar system and is the most advanced and widely used technology available for aircraft-bird strike risk management providing for real-time detection, tracking and alerting of hazardous bird and drone activity at commercial airports, military airfields, and military training and bombing ranges.
The bird radar is proven, operational technology with systems installed worldwide for aviation safety and environmental applications. The radar has a documented record in reducing bird strikes, increasing safety, and reducing aircraft damage at both military and commercial airfields.
MERLIN is also the only bird radar system to have been evaluated and certified for real-time, tactical flight safety use by the US government (NASA and the US Air Force) and is the only bird radar approved for and in use at a commercial airport control tower under national flight safety standards.
The system is a full True3D™ radar and has the highest update rate of any BDR system. MERLIN can optionally be delivered as a dual-function bird and drone detection radar (BDR-DDR), risk alerting and interdiction system. The counter-UAS DDR upgrade can be added to a MERLIN BDR at any time as an upgrade that includes the drone classification software and radiofrequency (RF) detectors to detect RF and WiFi controlled drones and locate their operators.
