Airport Deploys Innovative Technology For Airfield Safety
Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) is testing an AI-powered system designed to detect and record foreign object debris (FOD) on airfields. The system, developed by Illuminex AI, uses a camera and sensor mounted on an inspection vehicle to identify FOD, record its location, and log detections in real-time. According to Airport Industry-News, the trial is part of PIT’s xBridge programme, which allows emerging technologies to be tested in operational airport environments.
