Tarsier - Runway Surface Awareness

Detect runway surface hazards earlier. Respond with greater confidence.

Tarsier® provides automated detection and location information that helps airfield teams assess potential foreign object debris (FOD), direct an appropriate response, and retain a traceable event record.

When Runway Safety Depends on Fast Judgement, Visibility Matters

Foreign object debris can appear without warning, be difficult to locate and create unnecessary operational risk. Tarsier helps teams move from a potential event to a more informed operational response.

  • Earlier identification of potential FOD
  • Clearer information for operational assessment
  • Support for established inspection and response procedures
  • A traceable record from alert to operational outcome

Supporting the Teams that Keep Runways Safe and Available

Tarsier delivers actionable information that helps stakeholders respond faster, reduce risk, and make informed investment decisions.

AIRFIELD OPERATIONS

What needs action now?

 

Use event and location information to assess potential FOD and coordinate the appropriate response.

SAFETY / COMPLIANCE

Can we show what happened?

 

Connect the alert, operational finding, response, and outcome in a traceable event history.

LEADERSHIP

How do we protect availability?

 

Use clearer risk, response, and trend evidence to support resilience and investment decisions.

ENGINEERING / ASSETS

What does this tell us about

the surface?

 

Connect recurring events with inspections, pavement condition, and maintenance priorities.

DIGITAL / IT

How will it fit within our environment?

 

Define infrastructure, interfaces, cybersecurity, and data requirements during site assessment.

PROCUREMENT / DELIVERY

How do we move from requirement to deployment?

 

Agree on scope, validation measures, support, and commercial pathway before deployment.

How Tarsier Supports the Runway Safety Workflow

The value is not just detection. Tarsier helps teams move from a potential event to an informed action and a recorded outcome.

Key Questions Tarsier Answers

Clear airfield decisions need practical information about capability, deployment, validation, and support.

How does Tarsier fit the wider airfield picture?

Tarsier can be considered independently and can contribute FOD evidence to Moog's broader Airfield Infrastructure approach.

Can response and verification be more directed?

Event and location information helps teams focus assessment and apply their established inspection and response procedures.

Can event history support better prevention?

A traceable record connects alerts, operational findings, responses and outcomes for reporting and trend review.

Can runway hazards be detected before they become disruptions?

Tarsier supports clearer evidence and faster operational judgement.

How can performance be validated?

Representative scenarios, measures, and acceptance criteria can be agreed for a demonstration, trial, or evaluation.

What will deployment require?

Coverage, infrastructure, connectivity, interfaces, and cyber-security are defined through a site-specific assessment.
