> An airport operations platform deployed in Miami and Dallas — and recognized at eMerge Americas

## The challenge

Eclipse Group needed a platform to run wildlife dispersal operations on airport airfields — and document every one of them to FAA standards.

## Our solution

- Airside operations management focused on wildlife dispersal on runways and surrounding areas
- Event handling and remote control of dispersal devices, over communication protocols our team built
- Vehicle tracking on the airport map to plan routes and maintain control across the airfield
- Dispersal reports and documentation to meet FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) standards
- A native Android app, built in Kotlin, for the teams working the airfield and for vehicle tracking

## The result

- Deployed at major international airports, including Miami and Dallas

## Key figures

- 1,000+ dispersals — to keep wildlife off the runways
- 4+ years — evolving the platform and bringing ideas to keep improving operations
- Top 10 — most innovative ideas at eMerge Americas

## Software that talks to hardware

To control the dispersal devices from the platform, our team built its own communication protocols.
