Here is a photo showing the Purivox TA‑RC system installed at Antalya Airport in Turkey for bird control on two runways—installed by UMTAS ULUSLARARASI MAK.TIC.A.S., the trusted partner since 2020 .
About the setup you’re seeing:
- The TA‑RC System is a radio‑controlled propane gas cannon with three blast tubes arranged to give full 360° coverage, protecting up to 80,000 m² (~8 hectares) .
- It’s powered by a 12 V battery recharged via a solar panel mounted atop the unit—no external power grid needed .
- Control is carried out using the Purivox TX‑H3-series handheld transmitter, with a range up to 8 km under ideal conditions .
- Constructed with weather‑proof, stainless steel housing and low-profile design, the unit is strategically placed near the two runways .
Key benefits of this installation:
- Effective bird strike prevention by scaring away multiple bird species across both runways.
- Remote, flexible operation allows quick response without staff needing to walk the field.
- Robust, low‑maintenance design ideal for the airport’s demanding environment.
- Partnered installation by UMTAS, who have successfully completed similar deployments across Turkish airports since 2020 with Purivox.
