DeTect, Inc. and Ocergy, Inc. have announced the successful deployment of DeTect’s MERLIN™ Avian Radar System on Ocergy’s Blue Oracle buoy platform. The radar was installed in early April and will remain operational on the buoy located 30 km east of Port la Nouvelle throughout the bird migration season.
“This collaboration represents a significant advancement in offshore bird migration monitoring technology,” said Gary Andrews, CEO of DeTect. “The combination of Ocergy’s inherently stable OCG-Data offshore buoy with our MERLIN advanced radar technology creates an ideal solution for gathering precise avian data.”
“This marks the first successful deployment of a bird radar on a low-cost dedicated floater in a far offshore location,” said Dominique Roddier, CEO of Ocergy. “This groundbreaking achievement enables us to collect crucial bird migration data in the actual areas used for offshore wind developments.”
