New Delhi: Drishti system, an instrument to facilitate safe landing of aircraft in very low visibility conditions in civilian airports, will be produced jointly by CSIR and the Met department.
Terming it a ‘milestone’ in the field of aviation safety, the Ministry of Science & Technology said the partnership between CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL), Bangalore and the India Meteorological Department (IMD) will pave the way for a sophisticated instrument for assessment of runway visual range.
“This is a fine example of collaboration between two government sector entities leading to indigenisation of a technology, which so far was the exclusive domain of few developed countries,” the Ministry said in a release.
