Rapid Airfield Damage Assessment System (RADAS) (Air Force)
Abstract
Test and evaluate a Foreign Object Damage (FOD) Detection System for suitability as a component of the Rapid Airfield Damage Assessment System (RADAS). This system will locate, measure, and classify airfield damage within thirty minutes after an attack to achieve critical repair times to launch or recover aircraft sorties as identified in the Airfield Damage Repair (ADR) Modernization Program. This system utilizes continuous scanning tower-mounted, low-light television sensors to provide 24/7, all weather, FOD detection, with the ability to auto-notify multiple agencies simultaneously (to include to mobile devices). The system will be evaluated for its performance against the ADR measurement and classification requirements as well as the ability to integrate with Geospatial Expeditionary Planning Tool (GeoExPT), ground robotic vehicles, and components of the Multiple Unidentified Explosive Ordnance (UXO) Removal System (MURS). RADAS supports the ADR modernization program which has an identified and validated requirement for an automated damage assessment system.
