The Sense Aeronautics FOD Detection solution equips COTS drones with the ability to perform automatic detection and classification of the most relevant types of FOD, as well as change detection on roads and runways. It is compliant with the EASA’s guidelines on the exploitation of Artificial Intelligence, and is ideal for inspection, maintenance and risk assessment.
The system utilizes calibration flights prior to deployment to ensure optimal performance, as well as automatic recalibration after each flight to keep up to date. All detections are geo-localized for easy review and confirmation, and false alarms are automatically filtered. The AI-powered software can be deployed on board the drone, on the ground control station, or on a remote cloud server.
