15 JULY I960 FLIGHT "hands off" T< The S.T.C. High-Accuracy Frequency Modulated Radio Altimeter is an integral part of equipment used in the fully automatic blind landing of air- craft demonstrated at the Ministry of Supply's Blind Landing Experimental Unit at Bedford. S.T.C. Instrument Landing Receivers were also used to provide guidance information during the approach in both azimuth and elevation. S.T.C. have pioneered the development of a highly- accurate, low-level radio altimeter, essential in any automatic blind landing system. The latest equipment is the result of twenty years' research and development in this very specialised field and is probably the most accurate altimeter available in the world today. More than 4000 landings have been made with this system to date.
