Vestas Acquires Technology Assets from OCAS

Vestas has acquired the technology assets of Radar Specialist OCAS including its patented Audio Visual Warning System (AVWS) used to prevent aerial collisions while significantly reducing the visual impact of wind power plants.

Using a highly sophisticated 3D radar, OCAS keeps the FAA or Transport Canada required warning lights turned off, unless an aircraft is on a dangerous path towards the obstacle.

Obstacle owners benefit from using OCAS through reduced liability, shorter permitting time, increased energy production, easier acceptance by local communities, and increased probability for project realizations.
