Midradar delivers a multi-layered security solution for airports, integrating bird detection, drone detection, and ground surveillance radars to protect critical airspace and infrastructure from all modern threats.
Airports face a unique combination of evolving threats, from unauthorized drone incursions and hazardous bird activity to perimeter breaches and runway incursions.
Traditional video surveillance has sensing blind spots at night, in rain, snow, fog and other low-visibility environments. Airports need 24/7/365 active detection capability to ensure uninterrupted operations.
With the growing use of UAVs, the low-altitude airspace environment is becoming increasingly complex. Accurately distinguishing birds from UAVs in busy airspace has become a key challenge for protecting takeoff and landing routes.
Manual inspection of runway foreign object debris (FOD) is inefficient, and frequent runway closures can cause significant operational losses. Using SAR technology for high-speed, non-contact inspection is an important way to improve airport throughput.
Airport security systems often involve radar, electro-optical devices, video surveillance, bird-dispersal equipment, runway inspection systems, perimeter sensors, and command platforms. If each system operates independently, alert information may be fragmented and response efficiency can be reduced.
Our solution integrates specialized air and ground surveillance radars with long-range cameras and deterrent systems for a unified, real-time operational picture.
Specialized bird detection and low-altitude surveillance radars continuously scan the airport environment, automatically detecting and tracking drones, birds, vehicles, and personnel simultaneously.
The system uses advanced AI algorithms to analyze target characteristics (size, speed, flight pattern, RCS signature) to accurately classify threats—distinguishing a hazardous drone from a harmless bird.
For bird hazards, automated acoustic deterrents can be activated to disperse flocks. For drone or ground intrusions, the system provides security teams with precise location data and live video for rapid, targeted response.
This system uses W-band millimeter-wave SAR technology to perform high-speed, non-contact runway inspection. During vehicle movement, it can generate high-resolution runway surface images, detect small foreign object debris, and support fast inspection without long runway closure. It helps airports improve runway inspection efficiency, reduce manual workload, and support safer aircraft takeoff and landing operations.
This solution combines radar, electro-optical devices, and AI recognition to monitor birds, UAVs, kites, and other low-altitude targets around the airport. The radar provides wide-area detection and trajectory tracking, while the electro-optical system supports visual confirmation. By linking detection, identification, dispersal, assessment, and management, the system helps airports build a more complete bird strike prevention and low-altitude monitoring workflow.
By combining radar guidance with AI vision, the system can automatically capture and track aircraft during takeoff and landing. It supports real-time glide path analysis, course deviation display, and landing status monitoring, helping tower operators better understand aircraft movement and improve situational awareness during critical flight phases.
The digital airport perimeter fence solution uses radar-electro-optical fusion to monitor personnel, vehicles, and abnormal activities around airport boundaries. Radar provides long-distance detection, while electro-optical devices support target confirmation and image recording. The system can link with existing perimeter security devices to build continuous, traceable, and platform-based perimeter monitoring.
