A lot of drones these days will have ADS-B. The ones that don't probably have geo-fencing to keep them away from airports. There's also all kinds of drone detection systems based on RF emittance.
The bird problem is a whole other issue. Mostly handled by PIREP today if birds are hanging out around an approach/departure path.
Computer vision here is definitely going to be useful long term.
FWIU geo-fencing was recently removed from one brand of drones.
Thermal: motors, chips, heatsinks, and batteries are warm but the air is colder around propellers; RF: motor RF, circuit RF, battery RF, control channel RF, video channel RF, RF from federally required Remote ID or ADS-B beacons, gravitational waves
Aircraft have less time to recover from e.g. engine and windshield failure at takeoff and landing at airports; so all drones at airports must be authorized by ATC Air Traffic Control: it is criminally illegal to fly a drone at the airport without authorization because it endangers others.
Tagging a bird on the 'dashcam'+radar+sensors feed could create a PIREP:
Looks like "birds" could be coded as /SK sky cover, /WX weather and visiblity, or /RM remarks with the existing system described on wikipedia.
Prometheus (originally developed by SoundCloud) does pull-style metrics: each monitored server hosts over HTTP(S) a document in binary prometheus format that the centralized monitoring service pulls from whenever they get around to it. This avoids swamping (or DOS'ing) the centralized monitoring service which must scale to the number of incoming reports in a push-style monitoring system.
All metrics for the service are included in the one (1) prometheus document, which prevents requests for monitoring data from exhausting the resources of the monitored server. It is up to the implementation to determine whether to fill with nulls if sensor data is unavailable, or to for example fill forward with the previous value if sensor data is unavailable for one metric.
Solutions for birds around runways and in flight paths and around wind turbines:
In "Glass Antenna Turns windows into 5G Base Stations" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41592848 or a post linked thereunder, I mentioned ancient stone lingams on stone pedestals which apparently scare birds away from temples when they're turned.
Are some ancient stone lingams also piezoelectric voice transducer transmitters, given water over copper or gold between the lingam and pedestal and given the original shape of the stones? Also, stories of crystals mounted on pyramids and towers.
Could rotating large stones against stone scare birds away from runways?
