NEW DELHI: The Delhi Airport has installed 10 indigenous visibility
measuring devices - 'Drishti' - on its three runways to ensure safe
landing and take-off of aircraft in poor visibility conditions.
Developed by Bengaluru-based CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL), 'Drishti' will be used for reporting runway visual range, which is a critical parameter for safe landing and take-off in poor visibility (25 to 2,000 meters).
"Drishti Transmissometers have been installed at this airport recently, as part of the first-phase installation of 20 such systems in 10 airports across the country.
"The CAT III B IGI (ndira Gandhi International) Airport, New Delhi, is now the first airport in the country to have 10 indigenous systems operating in all its three runways," said a statement from the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Earlier, CSIR-NAL and India Meteorological Department (IMD) signed a partnership agreement to jointly execute a mega project for installation of nearly 70 Drishti systems, at various airports of the country.
