2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
United States Air Force Bird Avoidance Model (US BAM) Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Eugene LeBoeuf, Kristie Sweeney, Edward Riegelmann, Mark Alexander, Timothy Beermann The United States Bird Avoidance Model (US BAM) was researched and developed to assist U.S. Air Force Pilots and Planners ensure adequate precautions are taken to avoid bird strikes. Its creation was jointly sponsored by the Air Force Safety Center's Bird and Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) Team and researchers at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA). ArcView and ArcInfo were used to analyze and correlate bird habitat, migration, and breeding characteristics in combination with key environmental and man-made features to create the model.
