“…Examples of existing FOD detection systems are Tarsier millimeter-wave radar, hybrid electro-optical millimeter-wave radar with a video camera,intelligent high-resolution cameraand mobile vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave radar.These four FOD detection systems have been tested and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). These systems reported are capable of improved runway safety; however,the relatively require high investments [24].General comparison of the system capability is shown in Table 3, including millimeter-wave radar over fiber FOD detection system manufactured by Hitachi Kokusai Electric from Japan [25].Operating millimeter-wave radar for FOD detection is favorable due to its weather-resistant properties. While installing and maintaining the linear cell FOD detection system utilizing RoF integrated with FMCW radar does not require runway closure, it can be considered the most practical and cost-effective solution for the busy airport.The Hitachi's FOD detection system has been installed and currently under field trial at Narita International Airport (NIA) Japan and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Malaysia.…”

“…The high precision FODDS consists of 96 GHz frequency radars supported with high-resolution optical cameras to ensure high-quality images, real-time data collection, expediting the investigation process in identifying FOD sources and facilitating fast runway clearing. The specification of the FOD detection system is listed in Table 4 [25]. The above FOD detection system is able to detect FOD samples of various sizes, shapes and material at 96 GHz, up to 500 m range from radar head during the clear sky and 200 m under 20 mm/h rainfall.…”

The rapid growth of air traffic worldwide leads to frequent landing and takeoff of airplanes at busy airports. Therefore, the airport runway must be safe and clean from any tiny size and shape of foreign object debris that is very hard to detect by visual inspection. For successful and fast removal of foreign object debris, an efficient system capable of precisely detecting foreign object debris is required. This paper presents a review of the available technologies to detect foreign object debris and compares commercially available foreign object debris detection technologies. The review has revealed that millimeter-wave radar technology is one of the most efficient foreign object debris detection techniques as it is weather resilient. Furthermore, millimeter-wave radar integrated with radio over fiber technology provides a cost-effective solution to detect foreign object debris within 10 seconds at 96 GHz frequency. A pilot test has been carried out at Narita International Airport, Japan and Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia, to detect foreign object debris either in a mobile or immobile position.

It is challenging to monitor busy airports’ runway through visual inspection to precisely detect foreign object debris. Currently, many technologies for the detection of foreign object debris are available. It has been investigated that millimeter-wave radar technology’s detection capability can be one of the most effective techniques for detecting foreign object debris as it is weather-resilient. However, the positioning and height of a millimeter-wave radar pole covering the runway area, considering the existing runway infrastructure, are challenging. The task involves finding the appropriate placement and optimum height. This paper presents a novel method of line of sight visibility for placement and height of radar pole using human factor research to ensure that each point on the runway is visible from various heights of the millimeter-wave radar pole to the runway locations. Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia runway 32L/14R, has used a case study to test the visibility analysis. The visual analytic test’s successful results for different millimeter-wave radar pole locations and viewing heights under a visible and invisible line of sight conditions on the runway have been verified in the field experiment.
