The unseen threat on the vertiport ground — bird habitats.
Vertiport ground operations inherit airport bird-strike risk before the first eVTOL ever lifts. UAM Korea Tech ships the 4-stage habitat treatment pipeline that pre-empts the strike, not the bird.
Vertiports inherit airport ecology — and pay the same price.
The K-UAM Roadmap 2030 places 200+ vertiports in Korea by 2030, most of them along the EAAF flyway pinch point. Every vertiport that sits in a migratory corridor inherits the same bird-strike exposure that civilian airports carry today — without inheriting the decades of operator experience and habitat-management discipline that those airports have accumulated.

Four stages — identify, classify, respond, monitor.
The pipeline runs on AVIX-AI BirdThreat, the same edge-inference stack that publishes Animal-class entities into the Anduril Lattice catalog. On a vertiport, that pipeline is configured to read the *ground* environment first — habitat profiling, behavioural pattern detection, doctrine-tagged escalation.
- 01
Identify
Multi-sensor fusion — radar 360° sweep, visible + IR camera array, 4-channel acoustic. Habitat boundary mapped on day one.
- 02
Classify
Species classification + behavioural pattern (roosting, foraging, transit) — feeds the AVIX-AI taxonomy v2 published 2026-05.
- 03
Respond
Non-lethal habitat treatment graded to ICAO Doc 9332 §4.6. NEUTRAL by default; escalation tagged with doctrine reference.
- 04
Monitor
Continuous publish into the operator Lattice instance — every entity carries source-frame + model-version provenance for audit.

Incheon Technopark — Public PoC
Six static + thirteen dynamic entities published to Anduril Lattice sandbox — all 19 returned HTTP 200. The narrowest possible answer to "does the schema deserialise."

Gimpo Airport — Habitat profile fitness
Same pipeline, denser EAAF stopover environment. The fitness study is whether the model trained on Incheon generalises within the Han River basin.

Urban vertiport — Strategic partner pilot
Vertiport operators currently planning 2027 commencement — six-month installation + six-month parallel-operation baseline before commercial cutover.
Three tiers, doctrine-tagged.
Pricing reflects the audit surface, not the vehicle count. We ship the doctrine reference library and provenance audit logs at every tier — the differentiator is sensor density and the operator services that wrap the pipeline.
