- Specially-designed clothing and footwear to prevent ripping, tearing, snagging and carried debris in FOD-sensitive work areas.
- Aircraft and wheel covers to protect equipment from rain, wind, dust and other environmental hazards.
- FOD detection systems, usually consisting of radar- or camera-based, which automatically scan runways for the presence of debris or wildlife
