BF Goodrich Aerospace/AvionicsSystemsceHawk Wide Area Ice Detector is an on-ground, wide-area ice detector approved by the FAA to replace a tactile inspection requirement. The system scans the wide area of an aircraft surface with an infrared light beam. It detects ice by analyzing the polarization of the reflected signal. Wherever ice is present, the return infrared signal is unpolarized.

The scan instantly provides a color-coded video display of any and all frozen contaminants, including snow, frost, slush or ice, even in the presence of materials such as de/anti-icing fluid, hydraulic fluid and fuel.
