Propelling FOD Mitigation with State-of-the-Art Magnetic Technology

Far More Than Magnetic FOD Solutions — We're Pioneers of Safer Runways, Advocating Mission-Critical Readiness from the Ground Up

Offering unprecedented speed—over 20 times faster than conventional methods—our magnetic FOD solutions revolutionize runway safety. Utilizing industrial-strength, switchable magnetic technology, we enhance the capabilities of permanent magnets without requiring external power. Our designs integrate lifetime magnetic power, can be activated or deactivated with a simple switch, and are engineered for performance. The robust, expertly designed mechanical packages set new standards in efficiency and reliability for FOD management.

Next Generation Smart FOD Removal System

Eliminate Operational Downtime Caused by Slow and Inefficient FOD Removal Systems

  • Speedy and Effective

    Complete FOD sweeps 20x faster than the benchmark systems currently in use by IATA and DoD Airfields

  • Energy Efficient

    Utilizes a no-electricity, manual on-off mechanism for enhanced energy efficiency and operational flexibility.

  • Smart Magnetics

    Achieve unmatched high speed FOD pickup with minimal operational footprint and support requirements.

The Smart Magnetics Operational Advantage

Defeat Operational Downtime and Aircraft Damage Due to FOD.

Lantha Tech’s first of its kind Smart Magnetic FOD Removal Technology addresses critical challenges in aviation, defense, motorsports, and other uptime-sensitive industries by providing rapid, efficient, and smart debris mitigation solutions.

  1. Sustainable, Innovative, and Green Solutions Driven by Lantha Tech’s Smart Permanent Magnetic Technology

    Our Smart Permanent Magnet Technology uses the latent natural power of permanent magnetics to create a powerful pull force. We deliver superior results at a tiny fraction of the energy and support footprint that current in service platforms require. With minimal moving parts and no internal power source Lantha’s Smart FOD Sweeper works for longer with less downtime and minimal environmental impact.

  2. Constant Improvement and Operational Certainty, with Data Driven Insights

    Our Smart Magnetic FOD Platform leverages GPS positioning, performance data, machine learning, and a suite of data inputs to maximize efficiency and effectiveness. Visualizing the swept and cleared areas so that Airfield Operations Managers can be certain that their tarmac is ready for use.

  3. Flexible Solutions and Custom Design Capabilities to Fit Every Solution

    Our solution can be custom tailored to meet the very specific needs of our customers. Based on the standard Smart FOD Removal Platform, we are able to integrate agile form factors and iterative capabilities into the solution design process. Lantha Tech will work with you to continuously enhance our solution in response to changing needs or industry standards.

To put it bluntly – this new magnet has changed the game for us.  We use to tow the magnet for 4-12 hours after snow events.  Now that we can tow up to 80mph, we’ve significantly cut the time down.
