Tarsier - The Solution to FOD on Runways

The solution
*

The only proven automatic FOD detection system in the world.

*

Through the use of networked high frequency, high resolution radars, integrated digital signal processing, and a central user display, Tarsier gives airport operators the ability to continuously inspect runway surfaces in the heaviest ground traffic, day or night with no disruption to aircraft movements.

The benefits are clear:

Increased capacity: with optimum runway usage you can secure more revenue whilst minimising loss of capacity through on-runway inspections and closures due to FOD related incidents.

Increased safety: continuous automated runway inspection compared to current visual inspections at intervals throughout the day.

Reduced financial impact of FOD: runways can be inspected remotely without interrupting aircraft movement, airport resources can be used more effeciently, delays and lost slots can be reduced and engine / airframe damage can be minimised.
