Objective
To enable airports worldwide to provide automatic landing and guidance to allow aircraft to land under all weather conditions. To demonstrate to airports worldwide that by using newly developed devices, can be configured to provide a much more reliable cost effective taxiway routing system which meets all the Aviation International Standards, minimising the need for aircraft to divert or hold over the airfield, which wastes significant amounts of energy.
To guide airliners safely and cost effectively on the ground, ensure non-conflicting routes exist, each section of the route to be fit at the correct intensity, identifying when lamps fall, guarantee Captains will always see at least 3 taxiway luminaires. Air Traffic will select a route which will automatically address a sequence of unique intelligent high voltage constant current switches sited adjacent to the taxiways. When the aircraft reaches critical stages of its taxi route, the nosewheel will trigger unique Piezo ceramic sensors indicating to Air Traffic the location and direction of the aircraft, turning out the luminaires it has followed. The ground sensors re-illuminate the adjacent stop bar, thus eliminating a repeat of the Tenerife disaster. The aircraft will be guided to its precise stop position during its last 50 m of manoeuvre by an automatic aircraft docking system which employs Piezo sensors andf fibre optics which is a unique device simplifying ground operations. Unique circuitry accurately detect lamp failures and ensures that the brightness selected compares with the circuit current for the correct lumen output. Field micros collate all the relevant information, initiate circuit operation and provides Air Traffic with an animated mimic display.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
