Bird Raptor Internacional, SL will present its Falco Robot ‘GBRS’ (gregarious bird removal system) at the 200 ISBC Europe Congress in York (UK) as an innovative, long-term solution to the problem of birds at airfields.
Falco Robot ‘GBRS’ is a flying aircraft model, that, like any other aero model, has to be piloted and under control at all times. It imitates a goshawk, the biggest, powerful and aggressive raptor. With natural aerial movements (such as circling and attack), the natural reaction of birds is to escape. The system can be also integrated with other systems, such as avian radar and is easy to use. Bird Raptor Internacional, SL also provides course training and offers ornithological expertise to improve bird control systems in the area.
The company was created in 2008 as the result of bird behaviour research and scientific studies. The solution was to develop and patent an innovative and unique system to respond to the problematic issue of birds at airfields and other open areas. Falco Robot ‘GBRS’ enables airports to re-direct bids in a predetermined flying path.
The system has been proven successfully at numerous airports and landfills in Europe and Latin America, for many different species.
Commenting on future projects, César García Rullán, CEO, said: “We are now in Europe and Latin America as part of our international commercial strategy. We are beginning our operations in Italy and will work in South America from July-December in airports in Peru and Columbia, as well as several airports in North America.”
