Changi Airport's new system scans for metal parts and wildlife that can disrupt flights.
NCS Engineering Enterprise Project and Service Leadership co-lead Samuel Tan and his team introducing iFerret at the NCS Impact forum on July 11.
Developed in collaboration with technology services provider NCS, the system is expected to be fully deployed across all of Changi Airport’s runways by the end of 2024. As extra eyes for air traffic controllers, iFerret provides a 24-hour scan of the runway, instead of relying only on airport staff who scan the runways several times daily.
iFerret was among the AI projects presented at the NCS Impact tech conference, held at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre on July 11, which brings together at least 1,000 tech professionals to discuss and showcase technology. Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said AI and new technologies can help to boost economic growth, adding that the aim is to benefit workers and people, and not to achieve numbers.

“To effectively harness the potential of technology, we need to combine the best expertise and experience across different fields,” he said. “For example, in different areas of technology and in business operations.”
