“FIRST WE WILL DETECT THE SMALLEST OBJECTS ON THE RUNWAY WITH AN RADAR TO BE USED AT ANTALYA AIRPORT”
Within this framework, the national FOD detection system has been developed by supporting the millimeter wave radar with optical system.
IZ WE WILL PROVIDE RUNWAY SECURITY AT AIRPORTS WITH DOMESTIC AND NATIONAL IMPROVED FOD RADAR AND ADVANCED CAMERA SYSTEMS ”
