VISUAL LANDING AIDS FOR ROTARY WING, FIXED WING & UAV OPERATION SAFETY AT SEA

OPERATOR CONTROLS GLIDE SLOPE INDICATOR LED LIGHTING 153 ACTIVE SYSTEMS OPERATING Day and night WORLDWIDE safer flight AGI Visual Landing Aids - fully integrated digital system for manned and unmanned flight deck, operational with and without Night Vision Devices for the world’s most advanced navies.

The ability to safely operate and recover aircraft at sea in all weather conditions, during both day and night time operations, is essential to today’s modern navy. A fundamental element of this requirement is its guidance along the correct approach path to the vessel and the transfer of the aircraft safely on to the ship’s flight deck.

AGI’s Visual Landing Aids may be used for any class of ship from a small frigate to an aircraft carrier and may comprise any combination of the equipment shown here.
