Israeli Technology Keeps Airports Safe From FOD
The Israeli developed RunWize system has been installed on the rebuilt runway of the Sea-Tac airport in Seattle.
The RunWize developed by X-sight includes FODetect, automated Foreign Object Debris (FOD) detection and BirdWize, ground level bird hazard management.
Integration was made by prime contractor Leidos , a national security, health and engineering solutions company.
RunWize has been deployed on the newly rebuilt center runway and ready for the runway opening, after successfully passing site acceptance testing.
According to the Israeli company, RunWize improves the daily operation of airport runways by increasing safety and efficiency. Its detection capabilities are derived from a unique hybrid optical-radar remote-sensing technology and strategic positioning of its sensors alongside the runway, collocated with the runway edge lights.
