Problem
Naval operations face significant risks from Foreign Object Debris (FOD), which can cause critical damage to aircraft and equipment. Existing FOD detection methods may be unreliable or inefficient, leading to potential safety hazards and operational disruptions. Additionally, naval vessels require effective countermeasures against missile threats to ensure survivability.
Solution
Zoid develops AI-powered software for real-time Foreign Object Debris (FOD) detection, enhancing safety and operational efficiency in naval environments. The system uses advanced image processing and machine learning algorithms to identify and classify FOD on runways and flight decks, providing timely alerts to prevent damage to aircraft. Zoid also produces reusable off-board missile decoys designed to protect naval vessels from incoming missile attacks. These decoys employ advanced electronic warfare techniques to divert and neutralize threats, significantly improving vessel survivability.
Target Audience
The primary customers are naval forces and defense organizations seeking to improve FOD detection capabilities and enhance vessel protection against missile threats.
