New Delhi: The Indian Air Force (IAF) will soon buy 41 specialised radars to help monitor bird activity around air bases to prevent bird-hits that are responsible for nearly a tenth of its air crashes.

"We have issued a request for information recently. We are receiving information on various Avian radars that are available in the market now. Soon we will release a request for proposals [tenders] for these radars," a senior IAF officer said.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity.
