The Indian Air Force (IAF) is actively seeking a Bird Detection and Monitoring Radar (BDMR) system to address the significant threat posed by bird strikes. Bird activity has curtailed air operations in the IAF due to the substantial damage caused by these incidents. Unfortunately, bird strikes have led to accidents resulting in the loss of aircraft and precious lives.
The IAF recognizes the urgent need to mitigate the risks associated with bird strikes and is committed to providing a safer environment for its operations. The induction of BDMR technology will play a crucial role in achieving this goal.
The BDMR system is expected to provide early warning of bird flocks, enabling air traffic controllers to take necessary precautions and prevent potential bird strikes. This technology will significantly enhance the safety and efficiency of IAF operations.
The IAF is seeking vendors with a minimum of 50% Indian content (IC) to participate in the procurement process. Field Evaluation Trials (FET) for the BDMR equipment will be conducted at selected IAF stations to assess its performance and suitability for operational requirements.
The successful implementation of a BDMR system will not only enhance the safety of IAF personnel and aircraft but also contribute to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the Indian Air Force.
