The system provides continuous 360 degree surveillance of the airspace around a wind farm from the ground level to above aircraft flight altitudes, automatically activating obstruction lighting when aircraft are detected at a defined outer perimeter. The HARRIER VWS has advantages in performance and safety not available on any other VWS that include longer range warning of aircraft, lower cost of acquisition and operation, ease of installation, and multi-function capability (bird mortality risk mitigation). The first HARRIER VWS for the US has been ordered by a major US wind developer and will be installed and operating by year-end. This installation will be the first US VWS system installation (more information).
