THE STRATECH GROUP OF COMPANIES has secured another contract to upgrade its iFerret intelligent Airfield/Runway Surveillance and Foreign Object & Debris (FOD) Detection System at Singapore Changi Airport. This follows an earlier contract in April this year for the first phase of the iFerret upgrade. Under the contract, the iFerret at Changi Airport will be enhanced with high definition electro-optic sensor technology and new software features, which will provide a panoramic view of the runway as well as a sharper vision of any FOD detected on the air strip.

An option to the earlier contract in April this 2015 for maintenance for an initial period of five years has also been exercised. The contracts for both the first and this second phases of the iFerret upgrade include options for the installation of iFerret at the airport's upcoming third runway, maintenance and other works.
