1. Bird detection and avoidance system

2. Why this system
Birds create issues during take off and landing which pose a serious threat to the aircraft operations
A tiny bird that got struck in the engine can result in a loss of a huge aircraft
We propose a system that can detect presence of a bird in the range and divert it by throwing water jet at it

5. How it works
Water Jet
Range
sensor
Camera

6. Components Detection system Location estimation system
Water jet system

7. Logic
Once any objected is detected in the range, the sensor will be used to calculate the object’s relative position with the aircraft
Once the coordinates are found, the water jet instrument will be instructed to inject water jet to that coordinate
