New Delhi: Major airports across the country will soon be equipped with indigenous hi-tech instrument ‘Drishti’ that will help in the safe landing and takeoff of aircraft in poor visibility.
The production of this high-end instrument will result in substantial savings in foreign exchange as the product, until now, was purchased from other countries at expensive rates.
The National Aerospace Laboratories and India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday signed a partnership agreement for the joint production of the system for the assessment of runway visual range, which is a critical parameter for safe landing and take-off of aircraft when faced with unsatisfactory visibility.
It is a first-of-its-kind innovative, indigenous product designed and developed by the NAL to cover the wide span of lowest to highest visibility (<25 to="">2000 metres), aiding pilots in landing and taking-off safely.
This cost-effective product is a mandatory system required at all airports as per International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and World Meteorological Organisation (WMO).
