SubscribeScarecrow Bio-acoustic Systems Ltd, based in Sussex, England has launched Ultima™, a unique Tablet Computer controlled development of their long established vehicle based SCARECROW PREMIER bird dispersal system.
The company reports that industry feedback has been immediate with worldwide enquiries already being received from senior airport operators in India, Pakistan, the U.S and New Zealand who have immediately recognised the advanced functionality and benefits offered by Ultima™.
Tom Diamond, Scarecrow's Group Commercial Manager explains:
"With Ultima we wanted to solve an age-old problem with new-age technology. The industry is well aware of the shortcomings of various dispersal techniques and bio-acoustics is cited as a reliable method. ICAO regulations add the demand on Airfield staff of logging activity. We wanted to supply a solution that exceeds both demands."
Scarecrow's Ultima™ is a result of 18 months of development work and is state-of-the art, next generation bird dispersal technology with self learning software, full reporting functions, GPS accuracy and available in multiple languages.
A complete system, it includes roof mounting loudspeakers, Tablet mounting brackets, microphone for live announcements and a back-up remote control unit. Hot-pluggable USB flash drives enable data captured to be transferred from the host vehicle to the airfield analysis system for which audit software is provided to prove due diligence and to provide long term analysis of bird behavioural patterns.
Ultima™ establishes proof of dispersal procedures completed in real time, logging Operator, species, time and date details; its inbuilt GPS function logs the vehicles airside position from which dispersal took place.
Ultima™ self learning software adjusts to suit the Operators needs. Over time it streamlines to the airport of use, remembering which species are in the majority in specific locations. The software never removes control from the Operator; each function is readily accessed on screen and provides an airfield bio-acoustic bird dispersal solution with data logging and analysis tools which meet and exceed current Regulatory requirements.
The 21cm (8.4") touch screen can display a database of bird recognition information, including full screen illustrations to aid identification.
Ultima™ is an impressive technical advance, which has confirmed Scarecrow's position as the world's leading authority in bio-acoustic bird control.
