DeTect to Supply Bird Detection Radar to Jakarta Airport

DeTect, Inc. has been awarded a contract to supply its MERLIN™ True3D® bird detection radar system to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, Indonesia. This system is intended to augment the airport's existing wildlife control program and improve overall flight safety.

The MERLIN radar technology is designed to provide real-time hazard risk alerts regarding bird activity to air traffic control and airfield operations. The objective is to mitigate risks associated with bird strikes during critical phases of flight, such as takeoff and landing.

This advanced radar capability allows for the precise tracking of bird movements and the generation of timely warnings, enabling airport authorities to implement preventative measures effectively. Such systems are becoming increasingly vital for major international airports facing significant avian hazards.

The deployment at Soekarno-Hatta Airport signifies DeTect's continued expansion in providing aviation safety solutions worldwide. Airport officials anticipate the radar system will contribute to a safer and more efficient operational environment.
