Researchers install another animal detection system
Researchers installed another animal detection system in the test bed. This is a break-the-beam system that uses microwave radio signals. It is the third generation system manufactured by ICx Radar Systems (formerly STS). As an above ground system, it uses microwave radio frequencies which are transmitted by a transmitter on one end of the testbed […]
Animal Detection Systems Tested and Reviewed
November 2009 — Researchers tested the reliability of the MagalSenstar animal detection system. The livestock contractor delivered 6 animals (2 horses, 2 llamas, and 2 sheep) to the test site and a test was initiated on November 18 2009. The tests lasted for 10 consecutive days after which the animals were removed from the enclosure. […]

Animal Detection Systems Testbed Research News
Researchers traveled to the Transcend facility to install another animal detection in the RADS testbed area. This system consists of a buried cable that detects large mammals when they move across the cable. The system is manufactured by Magal Senstar from Ontario, Canada. The buried cable is placed in a trench and wrapped in sand […]
