Airfield Safety & Perimeter Intelligence
Protect the runway.Protect the mission.
RunwaySafe combines aerial monitoring, fiber-optic sensing, radar, LiDAR and edge AI to create a continuously intelligent airfield — protecting aircraft, passengers, personnel and critical infrastructure through real-time situational awareness. Powered by AIREZ Sense™ (formerly OpticSense FoRi), Sky Watch™, Edge AI and the AIREZ GSOC.
- Sky Watch airspace
- AIREZ Sense perimeter
- Radar & LiDAR surface
- Verified tower alerts
Section 01
Safety and security in one operational picture.
Traditional airport systems monitor independent domains — airspace, perimeter, ground vehicles, wildlife and access control each in their own console. RunwaySafe fuses them into one continuously updated operational view.
Airspace
Drones, aircraft and helicopters tracked above the field before they matter on the ground.
Runway
Occupancy, incursions and unauthorized movement across active movement areas.
Taxiway
Vehicle and aircraft flow monitored for conflicts, wrong turns and hold-short violations.
Perimeter
AIREZ Sense fiber reads digging, cutting and climbing along every mile of fence line.
Operations Center
Every signal arrives in one shared airport operations and security picture.
AI Reasoning
Correlation, classification, trajectory and risk resolved before a human is interrupted.
Verified Response
Tower, security and operations act on confirmed intelligence, not isolated alarms.
Section 02
Multi-layer airfield protection.
Four sensing and reasoning tiers, from the sky above the field down to the operations center.
Above
Airspace Layer
Sky Watch nodes, drone detection, aircraft tracking, long-range optics and thermal imaging across the airspace.
Section 03
From detection to decision.
RunwaySafe delivers verified operational intelligence instead of isolated alarms. Every stage runs before the tower is interrupted.
- 01
Object Detected appears
Anything moving in the airspace, on the surface or along the perimeter is registered.
- 02
Sensor Correlation corroborates
Radar, LiDAR, fiber, thermal and optical contacts resolved into one track.
- 03
AI Classification identifies
Aircraft, service vehicle, personnel, wildlife or drone — determined locally.
- 04
Trajectory Prediction projects
Path, speed and time-to-runway modelled against current field state.
- 05
Risk Scoring ranks
Runway occupancy, approach traffic and proximity weighted into one score.
- 06
Operational Recommendation advises
A concrete recommended action accompanies every verified event.
- 07
Tower & GSOC Notified delivers
Air traffic, security and operations see the same picture at the same moment.
- 08
Response Coordinated resolves
Dispatch, hold or clearance actioned and logged with full evidence attached.
