This work describes the modeling, simulation and experiment for development of infra-sound bird strike prevention system by generating interference based active infra-sound zones using several sound generating. There are two strategies (static and dynamic), where the static approach creates active zones on the runway by using multiple sound generators. In this approach, the aim is to model different sound speaker arrangements using a developed infra-sound model. The model can be scaled to any wavelength ¿ and as infra-sound waves have very large wavelength’s, this enables one to work with shorter wavelength sound waves for the experiment, to model infrasound interference. While comparing different sound speaker arrangements, good and fair metrics namely average normalized intensity and coverage area are used to select the optimum speaker arrangement that gives the maximum sound wave amplitude profile in the runway as maximum sound wave profile is effective in preventing birds from the runway region. In order to verify the optimum arrangement of speakers obtained from static approach, using the developed model, experiments were carried out using 1 kHz sound speakers. For the dynamic approach, phased array sound generation i.e. beam steering is used to change the position of the active zone on the runway. MPLAB X IDE for dynamic approach and Matlab tool for static approach are used in simulations and experiments.
