ABSTRACT:
A system for landing aircraft during low visibility includes a number of millimeter wave sources in or near the runway light housings radiating millimeter wave beams along the runway. An airborne millimeter wave camera includes a millimeter wave lens that focuses the image of the millimeter wave sources upon a hemispherical detector array that provides signals processed to create an image of the millimeter wave sources corresponding substantially to the visible image perceived by a landing pilot when observing the runway light pattern during good visibility conditions.
