Crew / cargo variants. The Dynetics Autonomous Logistics Platform for All-Moon Cargo Access ( ALPACA )—also known as Dynetics HLS [1] — (ILV) is a human spaceflight lunar lander design concept proposed in 2020/21 for the NASA Human Landing System (HLS) component of the Artemis program. Dynetics was the lead contractor for the ALPACA lander ...
Fresnel lens optical landing system (FLOLS) Later systems kept the same basic function of the mirror landing aid, but upgraded components and functionality. The concave mirror, source light combination was replaced with a series of fresnel lenses. The Mk 6 Mod 3 FLOLS was tested in 1970 and had not changed much, except for when ship's heave was ...
Microwave landing system. The microwave landing system ( MLS) is an all-weather, precision radio guidance system intended to be installed at large airports to assist aircraft in landing, including 'blind landings'. MLS enables an approaching aircraft to determine when it is aligned with the destination runway and on the correct glidepath for a ...

The SEWIP program aims to upgrade the U.S. Navy's current AN/SLQ-32(V) Electronic Warfare System to improve the performance of antennae and receivers. Work on this contract should be complete by ...
Instrument landing system. In aviation, the instrument landing system ( ILS) is a precision radio navigation system that provides short-range guidance to aircraft to allow them to approach a runway at night or in bad weather. In its original form, it allows an aircraft to approach until it is 200 feet (61 m) over the ground, within a mile (800 ...
Starship HLS. Starship HLS (Human Landing System) [a] is a lunar lander variant of the Starship spacecraft that is slated to transfer astronauts from a lunar orbit to the surface of the Moon and back. It is being designed and built by SpaceX under the Human Landing System contract to NASA as a critical element of NASA's Artemis program to land ...
In aviation, autoland describes a system that fully automates the landing procedure of an aircraft 's flight, with the flight crew supervising the process. Such systems enable airliners to land in weather conditions that would otherwise be dangerous or impossible to operate in. A few general aviation aircraft have begun to be fitted with ...
