AIRPORT SOLUTION :

FODBASA (Foreign Object Debris, Drone and Bird-Aircra Strike Avoidance )

The FODBASA system is an integrated sensor system solution consisting
of a FODA sub-system and a BASA sub-system. Each sub-system in turn
consist of one, two or multiple individual radars. For optimal performance
it is usually recommended to use two or more radars. Likewise, it is recommended
to use two or more high-resolution cameras.

The FODA sub-system is based on Ka-band technology as a compromise
between high resolution capability and reduced susceptibility to clutter and
attenuation from precipitation but also price. The coverage range will typically
be 3 km. The BASA sub-system is based on X-band technology that provides
enough resolution capability and at the same time all-weather performance.
An extended coverage range up to approximately 10 km is provided.
Two separate subsystems are responsible for coverage of a flat 360° horisontal
sector and a vertical (elevation) corridor centered along the runways respectively.

FODA sub-system and a BASA sub-system can transfer complementary
information in a way to warrant dual-band operation covering the critical
runway surface zone.
