Remove Foreign Object Debris (FOD) & Increase Safety with the FOD*BOSS

Any material that should not be found on an airport taxiway, ramp, runway or airfield is classified as Foreign Object Debris (FOD) and must be removed to increase safety and reduce aircraft damage. Metallic and non-metallic FOD such as stones, gravel, nails, luggage hardware, sand, nuts and bolts, pavement fragments, pose a significant safety hazard if ignored or left undetected. FOD can be ingested into jet engines via vortex suction, puncture aircraft tires, damage propellers, and can cause deadly aircraft accidents. It has been reported that FOD incidents cause billions of dollars in damages each year. For these reasons, Airports, Military Air Force Bases, and Airlines devote a considerable amount of time and energy to the task of removing the threat of FOD from tarmac areas where aircraft are active.
