Xsight's artificial intelligence-based system
improves runway safety and capacity by monitoring and detecting
any forms of debris or hazards and can prevent incidents like
bird strikes or airplanes veering off the runway, the company
said.
Financial details were not disclosed.
The technology will be installed on the north and east runways
of Beijing Daxing International Airport, which is due to open in
September and will accommodate 72 million passengers a year by
2025, making it one of the world’s busiest airports upon
completion.
The system is already in use in airports in the United States,
Israel and Thailand, and was selected earlier this year for
installment at a different Beijing airport.
