The bird strike hazard is a worldwide problem to aviation

which has received prevalent attention from international academe.The studying of avian detection based on radar has made much progress and some practical radar avian surveillance systems have been set up.A survey of research on radar avian detection

including progress actuality of foreign radar avian detection system

the characteristics of bird echo and the method of identification and detection

are presented.The new research are proposed in three aspects

Geographic Information Systems(GIS)

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and computer network

which are combined with radar avian detection system to set up a high-efficient

real-time

3D radar avian detection network.Finally

several research topics in future are suggested.
