In parallel with the US HIWC and European HAIC projects, the European Organization for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE) Working Group WG-95 (Long Range Awareness subgroup), in association with the RTCA Special Committee SC-230, was tasked with demonstrating the maturity and the feasibility of using an X-band radar system for long-range detection of ice crystal conditions. This feasibility study document details the context of the study and a description of the intended function (situational display of regions ahead of the aircraft that present potential hazards to the aircraft due to ice crystals).
Founded in 1963, EUROCAE is the European leader in the development of worldwide recognised industry standards for aviation.
