Vancouver adds dayight camera to FOD radar

摘要

Vancouver International Airport in Canada has augmented its Tar-sier foreign object debris (FOD) detection radar with the installation of a dayight camera.rnThe millimetre-wave Tarsier automated FOD detection system from QinetiQ Airport Technologies went live at Vancouver in early 2007. Statistics collated earlier in 2009 showed that Tarsier at Vancouver is detecting 87 per cent of total FOD finds on the north runway and 81 per cent on the south.rnWorking in tandem with Tarsier, the dayight camera capability is intended to allow continuous FOD detection and identification in all weather conditions.
