Source summary
The challenge asks for an electronic glide-path landing system for helicopters using hill helipads in poor visibility, where visual reference currently limits operations. The system must generate glide-path signals and monitor failures, and may be transportable, configurable for different locations and non-standard angles, compatible with aircraft ILS, and able to warn crews visually or aurally of degradation. The stated deliverables are two helipad systems and four aircraft systems.
