Mars Configuration

A typical MARS® configuration is a dual radar-based system which includes:

Detection of flying birds in ground clutter
Detection of flying birds in rain and snow
Detection of birds from the surface to 20° above the horizon with a 6 nautical mile range
Detection of flight headings
Sub-pixel spatial resolution radar data
12-bit radar signal dynamic range
Track data and radar characteristics recorded in real time to MS Access or SQL compatible database

VerCat™ Mode (vertical)
- Detection of birds from the surface to 9,000 feet
- Detection of moving bird targets with measurement of altitude and ground position
TracScan™ Mode (horizontal)
- Detection of birds from the surface to 25° above the horizon within a 2 to 6 nautical mile radial range
- Detection of flight headings
Either TracScan™ or VerCat™ Modes
- Sub-pixel spatial resolution radar data
- 12-bit radar signal dynamic range
- Track data and radar characteristics recorded in real time to MS Access or SQL compatible database
