    • Abstract:
      This report analyzes the deployment cost for different visibility measuring systems necessary to satisfy CAT I, II, and II operations. The analysis is based on airport operational requirements and data for commercially available visibility measuring equipment. Estimated deployment schedules of visibility measuring equipment for the FY76-FY85 period are developed. Visibility equipment requirements for each runway category are identified. Eight (8) selected airports are analyzed for their existing visibility equipment, future plans and estimated requirements. Cost comparisons of various alternatives are performed for typical visibility measuring systems. Commercially available visibility measuring equipment relevant to airport operations are listed and described. Specification and performance characteristics as well as cost factors are considered. The deployment cost for the SVR system which may become operational in the next few years is investigated. The deployment cost for the airport visibility system (ARVIS) developed by TSC as wlel as modifications kits for the FAA/NBS transmissometer system are analyzed.
