OCAS AS has announced that Transportstyrelsen in Sweden has approved the use of the OCAS radar solution for a wind farm in Sweden.
Transportstyrelsen in Sweden (The Swedish Transport Agency) has for the first time approved the use of radar technology to control aviation obstacle lights. The approval to use OCAS (Obstacle Collision Avoidance System) is related to a wind farm in Southern Sweden. The OCAS solution, based on 3D radar technology, allows the wind farm to keep the obstacle lights turned off unless aircraft are operating in the area. This reduces the visual impact of the wind farm on its neighbours and environment, while upholding maximum aviation safety.
