MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641042311 A) filed by Mangalam College Of Engineering, Ettumanoor, Kerala, on April 2, for 'avionex an intelligent radar-vision bird deterrence system for airport safety.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Resma Chandran V P; Dr. Abraham C G; Dr. Devika Sarath; Aswathi P Mani; Johan Sony Markose; Keerthana Suresh; Sreekesh K P; Treesa Biju; Aparna Karunan; and Arjun K Sajith.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an intelligent radar-vision bird deterrence system designed to reduce bird strike risks in airport environments through integrated sensing and automated response mechanisms. The system combines radar-based detection and vision-based monitoring to identify bird position, altitude, speed, and movement patterns in real time. Radar sensors provide wide-area surveillance and early detection of aerial objects, while high-resolution cameras enable accurate classification and confirmation of bird activity. The system processes this information to assess parameters such as flock size, distance, and direction, enabling timely activation of appropriate deterrent measures. These include laser systems, acoustic devices, and aerial interception units to safely disperse birds from critical zones. The system operates autonomously with minimal human intervention, ensuring rapid and adaptive responses. By integrating real-time monitoring with intelligent control, the invention enhances runway safety, improves aircraft availability, and provides an efficient, non-lethal and environmentally sustainable solution for airport bird management."
