The contract, awarded by Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP), is for the installation of the iFerret™ intelligent Airfield/Runway Surveillance and Foreign Object & Debris (FOD) Detection System at Dubai International Airport. Developed by Stratech, the market leader in RDMS solutions, the iFerret™ system is the world’s first intelligent Vision-based FOD detection system, providing real-time, automated FOD detection, location, classification, measuring and recording approved by the US FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).

“The Dubai International Airport is one of the top airport hubs handling more than 60 million passengers and aircraft movements in excess of 300,000 annually. We are confident that iFerret™ will rise to the occasion and enhance aviation safety for travellers and employees in this very busy airport,” said Stratech Executive Chairman, Dr. David K.M. Chew.
