How high is the probability of a bird encountering an aircraft? Above airports, such "unexpected encounters" pose an ongoing risk. Bird strikes cause global aviation economic losses exceeding $2 billion annually, and birds alongside the growing number of aircraft have become one of the major threats to flight safety.

Traditional bird monitoring methods are limited by visibility, coverage and manpower, making it difficult to achieve all-weather, large-scale and accurate monitoring. Bird activities at night, in rain, fog and other weather conditions become monitoring blind spots. The "invisible threat" in airport clear zones has always been hard to eliminate. The aviation safety sector urgently needs an intelligent monitoring system capable of detecting far, distinguishing clearly and controlling effectively.
The TLC004 Bird Detection Radar by Tianlang Defense is designed to solve this industry pain point. It aims to build an intelligent low-altitude defense system for airports, shifting from passive response to active early warning and precise prevention.
01
Technological Breakthrough: From "Vague Perception" to "Precise Tracking"
The TLC004 Bird Detection Radar adopts an S-band 1D active digital phased array architecture, featuring strong detection capability and anti-interference performance. The system has a maximum detection range of up to 13 kilometers and can track and process more than 2,000 targets simultaneously. On the basis of traditional azimuth scanning, the TLC004 is specially equipped with a vertical antenna, focusing on detection along aircraft takeoff and landing routes, greatly improving detection accuracy in key areas.
