If one were to think how many airports have radar, and how many bird strikes occour at airports. And then think of airports that have SSR, PAR, primary, ground, weather radar and still have bird strikes.

How is installing one on an aircraft going to stop you from hitting a bird, if installing one or multiple at an airport cannot keep them away ?

Most new aircraft Wx radars have a unsafe rage of less than 5 meters.
