Singapore's Changi to Deploy Stratech Systems' FOD Runway Surveillance
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) will deploy a Stratech Systems
runway surveillance system at Singapore's Changi Airport to reduce the dangers
and damage of FOD (foreign object debris) in real-time.
Scratch's
iFerret system continuously inspects a runway between flights with
self-calibrating cameras, automated scene analysis, and configurable scan
resolution, to differentiate object sizes. Stretch says the system not only
detects FOD, it classifies their type, and pinpoints their location.
When FOD is detected, tower controllers are immediately notified.
CAAS will deploy Stretch's iFerret system along Changi's Runways 1 and 2. As part of their
contract, Stratech will customize the system to meet Changi's specific
requirements, maintain it, and provide upgrades. 03-03-2008. |
