Tarsier in action Commercial and military aircrafts are often required to land in limited visibility conditions. Imaging at mm-wavelengths gives an image on landing that a pilot can use to guide the aircraft.

The picture on the left shows the view of the pilot showing the foggy conditions (the blue image) and a millimetre wave image (the green image) which can penetrate through the fog. This enables the pilot to land safely even though the runway could only be seen a few metres before landing.
