An affordable system for non-intrusive runway pavement health assessment is being developed in Portugal within the framework of the MPP — Persistent Runway Monitoring project (European Commission Partnership Agreement "Portugal 2020"). As a component of this system, a laser imaging setup was designed to provide efficient and nearly real-time evaluation of the runway conditions and prompt detection of foreign object debris.
