Automatically detect even the smallest debris on runways, taxiways, and aprons — day or night, in any lighting, at inspection speeds up to 100 km/h.
Download Data Sheet
Mobile system that detects FOD across runways, taxiways, and aprons — not just a single fixed zone.
Automatically identifies debris as small as 2 mm at inspection speeds up to 100 km/h, day or night.
Reliable performance on asphalt or concrete, under sunlight, shadows, or artificial lighting.
Upgradeable with LCMS® algorithms to perform full pavement condition assessments with the same hardware.
Fast, consistent, and objective detection outperforms visual walk-throughs and vehicle-based manual inspections.
Adjustable thresholds let operators prioritize large or hazardous FOD while logging smaller debris for later review.
The Pavemetrics® Laser Foreign Object Debris (LFOD) Detection System combines high-speed cameras, custom optics, and laser line projectors to capture detailed 2D imagery and high-resolution 3D profiles of runways, taxiways, and aprons — automatically detecting even the smallest debris at operational speeds.
Designed for maximum reliability in real-world airfield conditions, LFOD operates seamlessly day or night and under all lighting environments. Whether surfaces are brightly lit, partially shaded, or completely shadowed — and whether the pavement is dark asphalt or concrete — the system consistently delivers accurate scans at speeds from 0 to 100 km/h.
High-precision 2D/3D scanning for ultra-small debris.
Reliable performance day or night, under any lighting conditions.
Alarm thresholds can be preset to trigger only for specific FOD sizes.
Operates at speeds ranging from 0 to 100 km/h.
Covers 12 to 18 meters per pass depending on sensor configuration.
Can typically be mounted on existing inspection vehicles or equipment.
GPS tagging of all detected debris for precise reporting.
Compatible with GPS display systems for real-time visual guidance.
