The purpose of the overall CEAT Performance/Capability Assessment Program is the examination of technologies and technology systems using science-based assessment procedures to assure the FAA, and the public, that the use of technology at airports is:

1. justified based on proven performance

2. that use does not compromise safety

3. use is compatible with all aspects of airport operations

The avian radar performance assessment program has avian radar systems deployed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, Oak Harbor, WA, O'Hare International Airport,  John F. Kennedy International Airport, and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
