online database which, using GPS technology, tracks and logs its user's
sweeping operations. The App calculates the distance swept and areas covered by the FOD*BOSS
sweeper; it then records this information together with the weight of debris collected by the operator,
enabling comparison of one sweep to the next. In addition the user can watch a FOD sweep live via
the App so enabling them to compare and monitor FOD Sweeps to ensure all areas of the airfield are
covered. For more information visit www.fodboss.com/fodboss/app/.
