FOD, or Foreign Object Damage, is a significant concern on airfields because it can pose serious safety risks to aircraft during takeoff, landing, and taxiing. Objects such as debris, loose hardware, or wildlife can cause damage to engines, tires, or other critical components, potentially leading to accidents or costly repairs. Moreover, FOD incidents can disrupt airport operations and affect overall air traffic safety. Therefore, maintaining a clean and clear airfield is crucial for safe aviation operations.
