Bird Strike and Drone Defense for Airfields

A single bird can ground a fleet. A single drone can close a runway. For most of aviation's history these were treated as unrelated problems, handled by different people with different tools. Bird Strike & Drone Defense for Airfields treats them as what they really are: incursions into protected airspace that share a single response logic. This practitioner's field guide moves through five clear movements - understand the threat, quantify the risk, detect, respond, and operate the program - and scores wildlife and drone events on one risk register so a single team can manage both.
It pairs established aviation-safety practice with a modern, data-driven, AI-assisted operating model: probability × severity risk grids, a detect-identify-decide response chain, and the legal and operational constraints that shape counter-UAS at a real airfield. Written for airport safety officers, BASH program managers, counter-UAS planners, and aviation and defense professionals, it turns scattered checklists into one picture and one chain - so the next incursion meets a prepared runway, not an improvised one.
