Keeping aviation safe

The surroundings of most runways are characterized by an enormous biodiversity. Vast fields with human presence close to zero make an ideal habitat for birds to breed and forage. In the United States alone there are more than 20 collisions between birds and civilian aircraft each day, compromising the safety of passengers and resulting in substantial damage to equipment and costly down time.

Effective bird control is essential and airports spend millions each year to keep birds at a safe distance from aircraft. At Bird Control Group we offer cost effective and animal-friendly solutions for protecting critical hotspots and keeping aviation safe.

Advanced laser technology

The principle of repelling birds with a laser beam is inspired by nature. Birds perceive the approaching laser beam as a physical object. It appeals to the survival instinct, causing the birds to fly away. It’s safe, silent and birds do not get used to the laser beam.

We dedicated years of research to develop the ultimate laser beam. This was accomplished by applying a combination of highly precise optics, filtering and light frequencies. The result is exceptional performance in bird repelling while maintaining safety for both humans and birds.

Portable tools

Our handheld laser products provide a highly effective tool for immediate intervention. Birds perceive the laser beam as a physical danger, causing them to flee. Under optimal weather conditions the lasers have a range up to 2500 meters.

Automated systems

When our laser technology is applied with repetition, birds will consider the area as unsafe, causing them to avoid the place. Unlike conventional methods to repel birds, habituation does not occur. Our automated laser systems claim a territory 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Airside Pro

The rapid development of mobile communication in the recent years offers a huge potential for more effective and efficient airside management.

Bird Control Group seized the opportunity to introduce a new software application and bring real time mobile communication power to the airside area.

“We are delighted to be leading the way in the UK with this enhanced technology as we are constantly striving to enhance our methods of bird strike prevention. The team here at Southampton Airport have had great success in implementing the Aerolaser® and are very impressed with the results.”

Dan Townsend, Airside Operations Manager

“If the 60-day trial proves successful, the technology will help to keep birds at a safe distance from aircraft and will become an important conservation measure at Adelaide airport. Laser beams do not endanger birds, quite the contrary. This is a sustainable and animal friendly method for preventing bird strikes.”
