Abstract - "Ground based Ultrasonic radar" for bird avoidance on runway focuses on developing an innovative system that ensures safer aircraft operations by preventing bird strikes during takeoff and landing especially on ground. The device acts as an automated wildlife hazard management mechanism, utilizing ultrasonic sensors to map surrounding runway boundaries and safely deter avian activity without harming the ecosystem. This paper discusses the architectural design, component integration, hardware implementation strategy, and real-time performance of the system in modern aviation safety infrastructure. This paper discusses the architectural design, component integration, hardware implementation strategy, working principles, and real-time performance of the system in modern aviation safety infrastructure. The study also evaluates the effectiveness, limitations, and future scope of the proposed model.

Key Words: Ground Based Ultrasonic Radar, Bird Avoidance, Runway Safety, Wildlife Hazard Management, Ultrasonic Sensors, Avian Detection, Aviation Safety Infrastructure.
