The
Danish
wind
equipment
group
says
OCAS
has
produced
a
system
that
detects
approaching
aircraft
and
activates
turbine
strobe-lights
as
a
warning.
The
anti-collision
system,
which
has
been
approved
by
aviation
authorities
in
Norway,
Sweden
and
Canada,
also
transmits
an
audio
warning
to
the
pilot’s
VHF
radio
if
the
aircraft
does
not
immediately
change
course.
The
technology
is
already
installed
at
60
locations
in
Europe
and
North
America,
and
regulatory
approval
is
being
sought
in
other
countries,
says
Vestas.
Once
the
purchase
is
completed,
OCAS’s
staff
working
on
the
system
will
join…
