title = "Design of a Launcher for Wildlife Collision Simulation on Wind Turbines to Validate Strike Detection Systems",
abstract = "Design and construction of a custom launcher and projectiles to simulate wildlife collisions with wind turbines is investigated. The various design features that led to success of the launcher are enumerated and described in detail. These features include custom projectiles, precision aiming capabilities, repeatable launch parameters, and azimuthal control over projectile launch. Success is investigated in terms of an overall hit percentage.",
