ABSTRACT:
An aircraft ice detector system includes a radar system. The radar system provides a radar signal to a surface of the aircraft and determines whether ice is present based upon a reflected radar signal. The system can determine the type and the quantity of ice present based upon the reflected radar signal. The system can be mounted within a wing or on an external surface of the aircraft. The radar signal is preferably a low power signal.
