As part of a multiple-year Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Safety Technology Research and Development Program, avian radar units were deployed at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington, by the University of Illinois Center of Excellence in Airport Technology. The deployment activities included identification and selection of radar vendors and products, contracting for radar system deployment, site selection for radar placement, completion of FAA obstruction and frequency applications, installation, and operation of the radar systems. Although this document provides a general protocol for avian radar deployment and addresses a wide range of issues associated with radar use in the complex environment of a typical civil airport, the actual activities that must be completed for avian radar deployment will be site- and situation-specific.
