    Despite many counter measures, the number of collisions between aircrafts and birds (bird-strikes) has increased in the past decades. Annually the strikes cost civil aviation (disregarding military aviation) worldwide over 1 billion Euros. Particularly the multiple collisions during strikes with bird flocks lead to engine failure. Unfortunately, flocks are difficult to control. As a solution, the proposed project aims to develop a method of using robot-falcons, so-called RoboFalcons, to chase away flocks of birds. Exploiting the synergy between RoboFalcon experiments, computer-modeling and observational data, the project will deliver a prototype of an easily steerable RoboFalcon and a protocol for how to drive away flocks of birds.
