DeTect has announced that Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority has accepted its Harrier Aircraft Detection Lighting System (ADLS) for use on Australian wind farms.
DeTect’s ADLS delivers continuous 360 degree radar surveillance of the airspace around sites automatically activating obstruction lighting only when aircraft are detected at a defined outer perimeter. The Harrier ADLS is compatible with all turbines, communication networks and lighting systems. DeTect developed its ADLS in 2008 in response to the Dark Sky Initiative to reduce light pollution for projects with aviation obstruction lighting such as wind farms, high voltage transmission lines and communication towers.
