What Runway Ranger
delivers
Runway Ranger is engineered for the specific demands of airfield safety: high-speed coverage, object classification below the inch threshold, and reporting formats that integrate with existing airfield management systems.
Sub-Inch FOD Detection
High-resolution imagery and AI classification identify FOD including nuts, bolts, tire fragments, gravel, and wildlife — before they become FOD incidents.
Pavement Condition Index
Automated PCI assessment covering crack mapping, spalling, joint deterioration, and surface distress — aligned with FAA AC 150/5370-11 standards.
Full Airfield Coverage
Mission profiles for runways, taxiways, aprons, and blast pads — with configurable overlap and altitude settings to match airfield geometry and operational windows.
Geospatial FOD Mapping
Every detected object is tagged with precise GPS coordinates, classification confidence, and severity — enabling ground crews to navigate directly to each finding.
Operations-Friendly Timing
Mission planning integrates with NOTAM windows. Rapid deployment between operations minimizes airfield closure duration — critical for high-traffic facilities.
Historical Trend Analysis
Track pavement deterioration rates, recurring FOD hotspots, and seasonal trends over time — turning inspection data into predictive maintenance intelligence.
Who uses Runway Ranger
Commercial Service Airports
Satisfy FAA Part 139 inspection requirements with AI-verified documentation and geospatial records that support certification compliance.
General Aviation Airports
Affordable, rapid inspection for smaller operations that lack the budget for traditional ground-based FOD detection systems.
Military Airfields
High-security deployment options for base airfields where operational readiness and FOD-free runways are mission-critical.
Airport Maintenance Planning
Use PCI trend data to prioritize pavement rehabilitation projects, justify capital budgets, and extend runway service life.
Construction Oversight
Monitor active construction zones adjacent to runways, tracking debris migration and verifying clean-up compliance before operations resume.
Incident Investigation Support
Rapid post-incident surveys to document airfield condition and establish a timestamped record for insurance and regulatory purposes.
