Contingency Landing System initiative offers portability for airbase opening forces

This photo shows the entire package for a portable contingency landing system that's carried in backpacks. This equipment was used during Air Mobility Battlelab's Portable Contingency Landing System Initiative concept demonstration at Duke Field, Fla., in July 2008. The initiative calls for a CLS that can bridge the gap between current precision landing systems and a future, fully-automated, on-board autonomous landing capability for military aircraft landing in remote airfields. The portability factor helps contingency response forces who set up the contingency landing system. (U.S. Air Force Photo)
