NETRA GARUDAKSH
Runway Foreign Object Detector
NETRA Garudaksh is a FOD (Foreign Objects on Runways) System. Leveraging its expertise in teleoperated robotics, NETRA presents an autonomous FOD detection system that integrates AI, multi-modal collection, and real-time monitoring.

AUTONOMOUS OPERATION
Capable of independent runway scanning and debris detection without human intervention
​
REAL-TIME ALERT SYSTEM
Immediately notifies airport personnel of detected debris through siren and cloud-based alerts
​
GPS-GUIDED RUNWAY-SIDE SCANNING
Utilizes high-precision GPS to navigate and systematically scan the runway area
AUTOMATIC DEBRIS CLASSIFICATION
Advanced object detection algorithms can identify and classify different types of debris

GARUDAKSH UPARI
MOUNTED ON FOLLOW-ME VEHICLE
Follow on Vehicles owned by the Airport Operations team, plies the runway throughout the day. GARUDAKSH UPARI mounted on the “Follow on Vehicles” thus would keep tracking for FODs whenever these vehicles are on the runway, thus helping in constant monitoring of the runway
GARUDAKSH STHIR
STATIC ALONG THE RUNWAY
GARUDAKSH STHIR would be installed with a maximum height of no more than 1 feet above the ground, at a distance of 200 metres between each other along the length of one side of the runway, providing real-time detection of FODs
GARUDAKSH CHALAN
AUTONOMOUS ROVER
GARUDAKSH CHALAN is a solar powered autonomous rover/vehicle which circles the runway continuously at a distance of 75 metre from the centre of the runway and providing real-time detection of FODs
Will be available ~ Q3 2025
DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Cost-effective and autonomous Foreign Object Detection solution for runway safety
​Real-time data from the GARUDAKSH models above is sent to a Central Control System. Automatic Alerts are also sent to the operations team for any actionables to take to remove the identified Foreign Object
Real-Time Debris Detection logging
The system continuously logs all detected debris items in real-time, including details such as location, size, and type of debris
Location Mapping of Detected Items
The detected debris locations are mapped to provide a visual representation of FOD hotspots and patterns across the runway and airport premises
Statistical Analysis of FOD Patterns
The system performs advanced analytics on the logged data to identify trends, seasonal variations, and other insights that can help optimize FOD management strategies
Maintenance Scheduling
The data collected is used to generate predictive maintenance schedules for the autonomous vehicles and other FOD detection equipment, ensuring optimal performance and uptime
Compliance Reporting
The system generates comprehensive reports to demonstrate regulatory compliance, including debris detection rates, response times, and preventive actions taken
