This clustering technology keeps server-based applications highly available, regardless of individual component failures; when one server in a cluster fails or is taken offline, the other server in the cluster takes over the failed server's operations. Clients using server resources experience little or no interruption of their work as the resource functions move from one server to the other. Windows Server 2008 has built-in features that protect certain computer and network processes during failure and provide increased reliability by eliminating any SPOF (Single Point of Failure). These features include a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) disk array. A standard 19” heavy-duty computer can be used for the ACC Server. Commonly used SQL databases (e.g., the commercial MS SQL Server 2008, or the General Public License MySQL) are used to keep and maintain the database. The ACC serves as the system's main data fusion server, capturing and analyzing data and coordinating between all FODetect®’s subsystems. It controls SDU operation and receives all FOD information from the surface detection units (SDUs) in the field, including location and visual image. The ACC analyzes this information, sends alerts about suspected FOD to the operators, and then processes all operator commands to manually control the sensor. While the system automatically detects rain, operation under impaired conditions can be optimized by connecting the FODetect® system to the airport's weather system. This enables use of alternate algorithms to analyze radar and camera data when visibility is poor, avoiding false FOD alerts. Radar is also fed parameters according to the current weather conditions. It is also recommended to connect the FODetect® system to the airport’s A-SMGCS (Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems), showing the position & identification of all aircraft & vehicles on the runway. This serves two goals:

Excessive levels of exposure to RFR can result in adverse acute effects on people such as involuntary muscle contractions (electrostimulation), electrical shocks/burns (from touching metal objects in RFR fields), and excessive heating of tissue (thermal damage). To avoid hazardous effects when the SDU is in operation, the radar should be visually inspected from a minimum distance of 50 cm, the defined radar hazard zone according to INCIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines. No safety measures are required outside this zone. If present within the radar hazard zone, observe the following precautions:  Do not inspect feed horns, open ends of waveguides or any opening emitting RFR energy visually unless you are sure that the equipment is definitely secured for that purpose.  Ensure that radar antenna that normally rotate are rotated continuously or that they are trained to a known safe bearing while they are radiating. During installation or maintenance (due to SDU failure), the radar light is lit but it does not transmit any radar signals, so it poses no danger. The radar component transmits radar signals only during a scan cycle. 14.2 NIR Laser Beam and Pointer FODetect® uses a Class 1 line laser pointer. A class 1 laser is safe under all conditions of normal use. 14.3 NIR (Near-Infrared) Illuminator FODetect® uses a Class 4 illuminator that by definition, can burn the skin, or cause potentially devastating and permanent eye damage, when recommended safety measures are not followed. To avoid hazardous effects, when the SDU is in operation, the illuminator should be visually inspected from a minimum distance of 24 cm, the Nominal Hazard Distance (NHD) for the NIR Illuminator. The NHD value measures the distance within which the level of the direct, reflected or scattered radiation during normal operation exceeds the level of laser radiation to which a person may be exposed without adverse biological changes in the eye or

Persons outside the NHZ boundary are exposed below the MPE level and thus no safety measures are required. (See: www.osha.gov/dts/osta/otm/otm_iii/otm_iii_6.html#4) If present within the NHZ boundary, observe the following precautions:  Never look directly into the lamp while illuminating.  Do not interpose your hand or any body part between the front of the lamp and the illumination beam when it is being projected. Before beginning any installation or maintenance procedure, the NIR Illuminator must first be turned off by powering off the system using the magnet tool. 14.4 Electrical Systems Installation of the SDU, its power supply and transformers, involves working close to extremely high voltages. Hence, the following safety instructions must be followed at all times:  All installation or maintenance activities may only be performed by authorized personnel who are certified by the AOT  CCR voltage must be turned off before the SDU canister cover is opened or removed. Do not proceed before verifying this with AFL personnel.  The CCR must be turned off before any installation or maintenance activity is performed that is related to the power supply and/or transformers. Do not proceed before verifying this with AFL personnel.
