Paris 2011: Terma Radar Aims To Slow Wind Turbine and Air Surveillance Dilemma

Surveillance of aircraft by ground radar in proximity of wind farms is an increasing concern and Terma (Hall E E2) claims to have the answer with its Scanter 4002 radar system.

The problem is that large wind farms can have a negative effect on ground radar used to track aircraft, as the spinning wind-turbine blades appear on radar as unwanted targets. According to the Danish firm, the Scanter 4002 is the only air-surveillance system that shows the stationary wind-turbine towers, filters out the clutter and still detects and tracks small air targets near the wind farms.
