Secure Runway Systems Corp. (“SRS”) is a development-stage company dedicated to safety in the aerospace industry. Its aim is to eliminate the dangers associated with foreign object debris (FOD) on airport runways.
FOD is classified as any object on airport grounds that, because of its inappropriate location, can damage aircraft or personnel. Every year, FOD costs the aviation industry an estimated $4 billion in damages. SRS is aimed at cutting those costs and, potentially, saving lives.
The SRS system, still in development, includes high definition infrared imaging components which feed through an image processing ground station. The product will instantaneously alert airport ground and flight crews to the presence of potentially hazardous FOD. Monitoring of the airfield is automated for maximum cost-effectiveness; alerts can be received via email or SMS.
Secure Runway Systems intends to provide airports around the world with the necessary technology to keep operations running smoothly. Not only does the SRS FOD identification system strengthen the bottom line, but it does so while protecting the best interests of all involved. SRS is working to increase safety and profitability for an entire industry.
