Millimeter-wave radar for monitoring animals in the airspace (Old ID 28946)

Chief Investigator

This project aims to develop a prototype of a millimetre-wave imaging radar for the detection of animals in the airspace. These radar systems have been developed for the automotive industry but have yet to be assessed for their capability as a detection tool for biological targets such as insects, birds and bats. There is a huge market gap for low-cost biological sensors in industries such as agriculture, environmental management and conservation, and human health. This project will provide a proof of concept that can then be used to generate further funding and a start-up to further develop this product, with the intention to deploy a network of units as a sensor array.
