New Technology Offers Real-Time Wildlife Monitoring Solutions

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) reports that bird strikes are among the most unpredictable hazards in business aviation, accounting for 18% of reported incidents and accidents. Experts believe that artificial intelligence (AI) could add a new layer of operational awareness for business aviation airports and flight operations. According to Kevin Singh, an instructor pilot for Bombardier’s Global Vision program, AI can sort through large data sets to predict bird activity, but wonders if it can stop birds from crossing the path of an approaching aircraft. This development was first reported by Aero-News Network.
