Foreign Object Debris (FOD) poses a critical risk to aircraft carriers, endangering both personnel and equipment. The accumulation of debris on carrier decks can lead to costly accidents, damaged equipment, and disruptions in operations. Proactive FOD detection is essential to ensure safety and maintain operational efficiency in these high-stakes environments.
Aircraft carriers operate in challenging conditions with high activity levels and complex workflows. Traditional methods of FOD detection rely on manual inspections, which are time-consuming and prone to oversight. Addressing this challenge requires advanced technologies that can provide real-time monitoring and efficient debris management.
