1. Describe the problem:
I have conducted an in-depth study of the aviation safety issue related to bird and drone strikes. This is not a hypothetical threat: in the United States alone, from 1990 to 2023, approximately 292,000 wildlife strikes were recorded. According to ICAO, from 2016 to 2021, an average of 150 incidents occurred daily worldwide. Each such incident poses a risk to human lives, causes multimillion-dollar losses for airlines due to damages and flight delays, and creates immense operational stress for airports. Existing detection systems (radars, visual monitoring) are outdated and ineffective.
2. How often does the problem occur?
The problem occurs daily. Around 100,000 flights are operated worldwide each day, and every one of them is potentially at risk, especially near airports.
3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?
I conducted a thorough analysis of the market and technologies (AI, computer vision, IoT). I see a solution in creating an AI-based intelligent system capable of detecting threats in real time, both on the ground and in the air. However, to implement such a comprehensive deep-tech solution integrating hardware and software, expertise in the subject area alone is not enough. A strong technical co-founder is needed.
4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?
I am looking for a long-term technical partner (co-founder) to build a company and a product that addresses this problem on a global scale. This is about creating a new market and a company with multimillion-dollar potential. I am ready to discuss fair equity distribution.
