FODᴬᴵ
FOREIGN OBJECT DEBRIS DETECTOR
As a force multiplier for airfield inspection teams.
Foreign object debris (FOD), such as loose metal, pavement fragments, or tools on runways, poses a direct risk to aircraft and airfield operations. Even small debris can cause damage, disrupt schedules, and lead to costly delays or unplanned runway closures.
FODᴬᴵ supports inspection teams by detecting, alerting, and logging FOD in real time during vehicle patrols. The system operates alongside existing workflows, capturing inspection data automatically and mapping findings to precise locations.
This provides teams with visibility into airfield conditions without adding complexity to current operations.
We offer two solutions tailored to different operational needs, giving airfields flexibility in how they address FOD detection.
The Standard system
-
Great entry point for airports of any size
The Premium system
-
Wider inspection widths and higher speeds
Operational Benefits
-
Reduce the risk of aircraft damage caused by debris
-
Improve consistency of FOD detection across inspection teams
-
Minimize manual reporting and post-inspection documentation
-
Identify recurring debris patterns for proactive mitigation
