Abstract

A system and method for collection of non-metallic and metallic foreign object debris (FOD) is disclosed. The foreign object debris system consists of one or more debris collection modules and can be deployed in various width configurations. Debris collection modules can be pulled, pushed, attached to moving equipment, vehicles or to a tow trailer to provide motion. Each pickup module consists of a frame, a debris bin area, a brush, one or more rigid ramp(s) with replaceable tip(s). Multiple debris collection modules can be connected to form a wider or narrower sweeping width. As the foreign object debris system travels forward, debris travels up the tip(s) and ramp(s) and is deposited into a debris bin.
