Tarsier – runway hazard management system

Tarsier is the world’s first runway hazard management system with automatic FOD detection capabilities. Designed to locate potentially hazardous debris on airport runways, Tarsier provides a constant inspection. Now the system is proving that there’s more to safety than meets the eye by detecting and identifying birds and animals to assist with wildlife management.

Tarsier captures images of wildlife day and night, greatly enhancing bird control and reducing the risk of bird strikes. The Tarsier system is able to display live video footage of birds, FOD and any other item on the runway.
