Xsight Systems offers a new runway detection enhancement to FODetect that allows airports to more effectively address, track and reduce ground-level avian-related threats. BirdWize is an enhancement to FODetect, Xsight Systems’ automatic foreign object debris detection solution. The technology utilizes a dual technology sensor, with millimeter-wave radar and electro-optic capabilities, along with advanced radar and image processing, to detect ground-level threats from FOD and birds as they occur. Xsight Systems has developed a unique capability which enables automatic bird recognition and provides an estimated size of the bird. RunWize sends real time detection alert to the airport’s wildlife team so threats are addressed. The solution also features a comprehensive reporting system that documents all birds and other objects detected, which can be utilized to investigate bird behavior patterns and better conduct required Wildlife Hazard Assessments.
