## What project 9999 buys

Congressional Adds CA89: Real-Time Foreign Object Detection - This project will demonstrate and validate novel technologies for the real-time detection of foreign object debris (FOD) on military airfields. The primary objective is to identify and integrate advanced sensor and data fusion technologies into a comprehensive system of systems. This will provide automated, continuous, and accurate FOD detection capabilities, enabling risk-based operational decisions to enhance the safety and efficiency of flight operations. The resulting capabilities will be designed for seamless integration with existing airfield management and operational C2 systems to proactively mitigate FOD hazards. CA90: Develop and Integrate Additional Sensors on Airfields - This project will demonstrate and validate novel technologies for the real-time detection of foreign object debris (FOD) on military airfields. The primary objective is to identify and integrate advanced sensor and data fusion technologies into a comprehensive system of systems. This will provide automated, continuous, and accurate FOD detection capabilities, enabling risk-based operational decisions to enhance the safety and efficiency of flight operations.
