DeTect specializes in advanced radar and other sensor technologies. The company is the leader in bird radar technologies for real-time aircraft bird strike avoidance, wind energy bird mortality risk assessment and mitigation, and industrial bird control with over 250 of its MERLIN bird radars delivered to the US, Canada, Europe, Africa and Asia.
The unique radar signal processing technology in MERLIN, developed specifically for reliable detection and tracking of small, non-cooperative, low radar-cross section, non-linearly moving targets, is also used in DeTect’s HARRIER Security and Surveillance Radar making it one of the most sensitive, low cost radar systems on the market today for airspace and marine security applications including drone and UAV detection and defense, Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) and virtual air traffic control.
In 2012, DeTect also deployed the first radar-activated wind farm turbine obstruction lighting system in the US – a HARRIER Aircraft Detection Lighting System (ADLS) – that provides automated activation of wind turbine obstruction lights when aircraft are detected within a specified distance of the wind farm.
In 2016, DeTect expanded its drone surveillance capabilities with the launch of its DroneWatcher system. DroneWatcher includes an advanced radiofrequency (RF) sensor, DroneWatcher RF, for longer range detection, tracking, identification and interdiction of drones and small UAVs. Combined, with the DroneWatcher Drone Surveillance Radar (DSR), DroneWatcher RF provide the highest level of multi-layer comprehensive, multi-layer drone defense available.
Since 2003 DeTect has delivered more than 500 radar systems worldwide. DeTect has main offices in the US, Canada and the UK, along with field and partner offices in over 60 countries to support its customers and installations worldwide.
