Varec's Foreign Object Debris Detection (FODD) solution is an automated system that provides continuous monitoring with high-resolution and high-speed detection of Foreign Object Debris (FOD) on critical Aircraft Operating Areas (AOA). At the center of the solution is a network of sensors, or surface detection units (SDUs), co-located with the runway edge lights. Each SDU reports to the FODD system that provides operators with FOD alerts, imagery, classification and reporting tools.
