Abstract

The Instrument Landing System (ILS), in its present 90/150 Hz format, had its beginnings in the United States and England during the years 1939 to 1945. Since then, it has served the aviation community worldwide. There have been many improvements to cope with ever increasing traffic, crowded airports, and difficult siting problems. There are those who say that it's time to replace the system with newer technology; are they right?
