FOD-M (Foreign Object Debris Mobile)
Vehicle-mounted FOD-M is a unique and versatile system capable of unrestricted operations across all types of aircraft maneuvering surfaces. It is capable of detecting and identifying FOD objects with geo-tagging, timestamping, and object classification from 10 mm and above.
FOD-M (Foreign Object Debris Mobile)
FOD-M prevents aircraft damage caused by debris ingestion, a major contributor to most of your runway accidents. Mounted atop a vehicle, it comes with an array of visual sensors / LiDAR sensors with onboard operator console, system server, and plies in the AoI (Area of Interest) for FOD detection. With a swathe of 25 m and approximate operation speed of 25 kmph, a runway dimension of 3000 m x 45 m can be sanitized in about 15 to 20 mins. It displays the detected FOD automatically on an FOD-M dashboard for the operator to corelate visually, thereby, facilitating assured pick-up.
