    ILS planes. An instrument landing system operates as a ground-based instrument approach system that provides precision lateral and vertical guidance to an aircraft approaching and landing on a runway, using a combination of radio signals and, in many cases, high-intensity lighting arrays to enable a safe landing during instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), such as low ceilings or reduced ...

  4. Transponder landing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transponder_Landing_System

    TLS uses the existing Mode 3/A/C/S transponder equipment to determine the aircraft's position. It then transmits the correct signal on the same frequencies used for the current ILS system. All the pilot is required to do is wait for clearance from ATC for the TLS approach and then tune an ILS receiver to the appropriate frequency.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Logistics_Support

    In general, ILS plans and directs the identification and development of logistics support and system requirements for military systems, with the goal of creating systems that last longer and require less support, thereby reducing costs and increasing return on investments. ILS therefore addresses these aspects of supportability not only during ...

    MOVLAS repeater on integrated launch and recovery television surveillance system (ILARTS) The MOVLAS is a backup visual landing aid system used when the primary optical system (IFLOLS) is inoperable, stabilisation limits are exceeded or unreliable (primarily due to extreme sea states causing a pitching deck), and for pilot/LSO training.

  8. Microwave landing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_landing_system

    The microwave landing system (MLS) is an all-weather, precision radio guidance system intended to be installed at large airports to assist aircraft in landing, including 'blind landings'. [1] MLS enables an approaching aircraft to determine when it is aligned with the destination runway and on the correct glidepath for a safe landing.
