Abstract:The potential of FogEye solar blind UV technology to contribute to safe and swift throughput operations at airports has been demonstrated. One application, use of FogEye (Safety Sentry), as an aircraft surface detection sensor has been successfully operationally tested at a commercial airport. Another application for FogEye technology is as an aid during low visibility landings. A Phase III effort during FY2003 was directed toward static tower evaluation during fog. The landing aid hardware consisted of a FogEye imaging sensor and UV augmented runway edge lights. A Phase IV effort during FY2003 was conducted to concurrently flight test FogEye UV imaging sensor and augmented runway lights at a commercial airport. This report describes these tests, and presents an analysis of the results.
