RunWize™
RunWize™
The document introduces RunWize™, a runway management solution designed to enhance the safety, efficiency, and capacity of airport runways. It addresses the challenges posed by increasing air traffic and various runway threats such as birds, wildlife, and foreign object debris (FOD).
Runways face threats from FOD, birds, and adverse weather conditions. Effective management is crucial for maintaining safety and operational efficiency.
RunWize™ utilizes a combination of millimeter wave radar, optical cameras, and image processing algorithms to detect FOD, birds, and monitor runway conditions. Key components include:
- FODetect: An automated FOD detection system compliant with FAA standards, providing visibility in all weather conditions.
- BirdWize: Manages bird hazards at ground level using surveillance, automatic recognition, and auditory deterrence.
- SnowWize: Monitors runway conditions during winter.
- FODspot: A scalable system for monitoring FOD at critical airport intersections.
The system includes a standard-sized plate, power feed, processor, video/radar signal processing, CCD camera, NIR illumination, and communication capabilities using 76-77 GHz radar.
Xsight Systems provides advanced runway sensor solutions adopted by major airports worldwide, including Boston Logan and Seattle-Tacoma. Their solutions exceed FAA regulatory requirements and are integrated by top-tier companies like Thales Group.
