To prevent collisions between airplanes and wildlife, Spot mimics the movements of coyotes and other animals in an attempt to startle and scare away birds. The demonstration is managed by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and is expected to be deployed at airports and facilities outside of Fairbanks as a way to improve airport safety.
