A-TOM550 is the only bird deterrent system developed by specialist ornithologists for the aviation community.

By nature, birds are highly sensitive to visual cues. Field measurements show that birds are most sensitive to the green color.

With A-TOM550, birds actually perceive and see a large green stick coming towards them. The only choice to avoid this stick is to escape and fly away : there is no habituation of birds to such visual technology. While a bird can become accustomed to noise and sound, it will never try to test a stick. It’s the same reflex as a bird flying away when a car approaches.

There is no visual discomfort for pilots : the laser is not visible outside a 15-degree cone : this has been approved by pilots in real-life tests lasting over five years at civil and military airports.
