DeTect


DeTect specializes in delivery, integration and support of advanced, proven 
radar Bird Monitoring and Mitigation systems (BMMS) for both onshore and 
offshore wind energy projects. DeTect has delivered over 500 systems 
worldwide which are being used by developers, owners, operators and 
environmental consultants for bird and bat survey, mortality risk assessment, 
operational monitoring, and real-time risk mitigation. DeTect’s MERLIN™
BMMS integrates the advanced, fully automatic MERLIN Avian Radar System 
(ARS) with a wind farm’s SCADA network to create a real-time risk mitigation 
system for bird or bat mortality. MERLIN BMMS consists of additional 
software, hardware, and/or other data sensors that monitor the wind farm and
assesses real-time mortality risk using mitigation rule sets. Alerts are 
automatically initiated, and risk mitigation measures are enacted when predefined risk thresholds are detected by the system. The MERLIN BMMS 
ultimately reduces both turbine downtime and bird or bat mortality risk by 
implementing mitigation measures in real time, and only during time periods 
of high mortality risk. Configurations are available for mitigating mortality risk 
for migrating songbirds, raptors, and bats and are available in mobile, trailered, 
fully self-contained or fixed system designs. DeTect provides full operational 
and technical support to wind farm owners and consultants that includes 
system deployment, operation, user training, data processing, analysis, 
reporting and QA/QC. 
Staff specialists include highly experienced radar ornithologists, avian 
biologists and statisticians that comprise the most experienced team of experts 
in remote sensing of birds and bats in the world with specific expertise in design, construction, and operation of bird/ wildlife detection systems for real- time risk management. 
In response to the Dark Sky initiative to reduce light pollution and customer 
demand, DeTect also developed the HARRIER™ Aircraft Detection Lighting 
Systems (ADLS) for automatic obstruction lighting activation for aviation 
obstructions such as wind farm turbines, high voltage transmission lines and 
communication towers. The HARRIER ADLS provides reliable, continuous 360-
degree radar surveillance of the airspace around wind farms, communications 
towers, power lines and installations that require aircraft obstruction lighting. From the ground level to above aircraft flight altitudes, ADLS automatically
