In response to the Dark Sky initiative to reduce light pollution and customer demand, DeTect developed the HARRIER Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems (ADLS) for automatic obstruction lighting activation for aviation obstructions such as wind farm turbines, high voltage transmission lines and communication towers. The HARRIER ADLS provides reliable, continuous 360 degree radar surveillance of the airspace around wind farms, communications towers, power lines and installations that require aircraft obstruction lighting from the ground level to above aircraft flight altitudes, automatically issuing signals to activate obstruction lighting when aircraft are detected at a defined outer perimeter. HARRIER is the most capable technology available and meets or exceeds all regulatory requirements including the recently issued US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular and Canadian NAVCAN requirements and well as various EU standards. The FAA Performance Assessment Report states that HARRIER ADLS system met “the performance requirements identified in Chapter 14 of “AC 70/7460-1M” and is published on the FAA Website. The HARRIER ADLS visual warning system additionally is compatible with all wind energy turbines, control and communication networks, and obstruction lighting systems. The HARRIER ADLS collision avoidance system is based on DeTect’s proven HARRIER ASR used for non-cooperative aircraft detection and UAV sense-and-avoid and the system provides aircraft detection out to 20+ miles with continuous tracking and lighting signal activation (through SCADA or direct interfaces).
