Mobile FOD

Skylark Labs has taken a significant leap in aviation safety with its innovative Mobile Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Detection System. This cutting-edge solution features advanced self-learning capabilities, enabling it to continually enhance its performance and adapt to the ever-evolving FOD landscape. Demonstrated recently at a prominent Indian air station, the system proved exceptionally effective in identifying and mitigating FOD risks.

The self-learning algorithms at the heart of the system are crucial for accurately detecting and classifying various types of debris, ensuring both optimal performance and reliability. By leveraging these capabilities, the Mobile FOD Detection System can adapt to the unique characteristics of each airfield, providing a robust solution for comprehensive FOD management

The successful demonstration highlights the immense potential of Skylark Labs’ system in addressing the complex challenges of FOD at military airfields. The deployment of this state-of-the-art technology has the potential to significantly reduce accidents, minimize damage to aircraft, and enhance operational efficiency. Skylark Labs' dedication to advancing aviation safety technology sets a new industry benchmark, revolutionizing FOD management at military airfields globally

The Complex Challenge of FOD in Military Airfields

At military airfields across India, the issue of Foreign Object Debris (FOD) presents a multi-dimensional challenge, each aspect contributing to a complex and demanding operational environment. With high frequency of military sorties, the risk of FOD is significantly amplified, requiring constant vigilance and sophisticated detection systems.

Constant Sortie Operations

With high frequency of military sorties at these airfields, the risk of FOD is significantly amplified. The continuous take-offs and landings escalate the chances of debris being left on runways or taxiways.

Vigilance Under Pressure

The relentless pace of air operations demands constant vigilance, as the likelihood of FOD occurrences increases parallel to the intensity of air traffic.

Diverse FOD Sources

The airfield confronts a wide array of FOD types, from natural debris like stones and branches to man-made objects like lost aircraft components.

Environmental Variability

Diverse weather conditions ranging from intense heat and dust storms to heavy rainfall present unique challenges in FOD detection and management.

"Innovation in aviation safety isn't just about responding to existing challenges; it's about foreseeing future ones and being prepared. Skylark Labs' Mobile FOD System exemplifies this proactive approach."

— Dr. Amarjot Singh, CEO of Skylark Labs
