REMOTE AIRFIELD LIGHTING SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION
There are numerous small, remote communities in the United States (even more around the entire world) which do not have convenient, paved road access. For occasional emergency and provisional supply functions, remote airfields are a vital lifeline for these communities. To aid the pilots identifying the runway of the airfields as well as landing safely at night time, adequate lighting is necessary; however, a traditional airfield lighting system could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and still an inadequate power supply for the lighting system. e unusa le ecause of
