Even an object as small as 4cm can pose a serious risk when left on a runway. In aviation, Foreign Object Debris can affect aircraft safety, disrupt operations, and demand swift action from airport teams.

At Changi Airport, iFerret helps provide constant runway surveillance. Operating around the clock, the system monitors the runways for objects that should not be there, supporting teams in identifying and responding to potential debris quickly.

Changi Airport Group and NCS have further enhanced iFerret with AI, improving its ability to tell the difference between real debris and visual distractions such as shadows or reflections.
