There is no single, foolproof solution for bird strike prevention. The requirements for bird-deterrent measures vary depending on the airport, the season, the bird species, and the time of day. Gas cannons, acoustic devices, blue-light systems, shock waves, electromagnetic pulses—each technology has its own unique advantages, as well as specific limitations in terms of applicability.

Bird strikes have long been an “invisible killer” in the field of civil aviation safety. Even a bird weighing less than half a kilogram can generate impact forces comparable to those of a small artillery shell when it collides with an aircraft during high-speed takeoff or landing. Despite the widespread adoption of conventional measures such as gas cannons, bird-control nets, and raptor deterrents at airports both domestically and internationally, bird-strike incidents continue to occur with alarming frequency. The root cause lies in the fact that bird-control efforts have historically remained at a “reactive” level, lacking precise situational awareness and intelligent decision-making based on real-time bird activity.
