FOD Detection 101
Our basic service is a one day course hosted at the client’s site. The aim is to provide the attendees with a thorough understanding of all the factors that would need to be considered before embarking on the purchase of a FOD detection system. Entitled FOD Detection 101, this course would typically be undertaken by clients prior to them approaching the various FOD detection system vendors.

Topics covered include:

• Background
• Current FOD detection system deployments
• Fixed vs mobile systems – the effect on risk
• Active and passive systems – pros and cons
• Understanding Radar Cross Section (RCS)
• Understanding Image Processing
• Trade offs between system sensitivity and false alarms
• Sensor locations (includes a preliminary site design for your airfield for each of the detection systems currently available)
• Attending system demonstrations – dos and don’ts
• FOD cataloging systems – the effect on FOD prevention
