Aveillant successfully participates in trials with US Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Defense Aveillant lined up this month alongside Raytheon and Lockheed Martin to take part in the US IFT&E3 trials, designed to establish what technologies are available to solve the problem of wind farms’ impact on radar, both for civil aviation and security purposes. The tests were organised by the Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Energy, and independently assessed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory, who will provide an official report. Numerous test flights were conducted,…

Aveillant will install its 3D Holographic Radar™ technology at Cambridge Airport before the end of the year. The site will be a permanent proving ground that will pave the way for airports around the UK to deploy the wind turbine radar clutter solution. Aveillant’s technology can reliably discriminate between turbines and aircraft based on observable differences in their behaviour. An ability not replicated in any other currently available or planned technology. Cambridge Airport is in the vicinity of Wadlow Wind Farm and Aveillant’s long range detection capability means it will be able to track aircraft overflying the wind…

Aveillant, the latest spin-out from Cambridge Consultants, has appointed David Crisp as its CEO. Aveillant’s technology will remove the concerns about aviation safety and air defence radar that are holding back growth in the wind energy industry. Wind turbines in motion can mimic aircraft on an air traffic controller’s radar screen. Aveillant will provide airfields with the accurate radar data needed to eliminate the potential confusion this could cause, without any resulting loss or compromise in performance. The company was launched in October 2011 with funding from DFJ Esprit and AIFCL, the wind industry fund. David is an experienced technology…
