Computer Simulation of Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System

Abstract

This report describes a computer simulation of a Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (FLOLS). The simulation was a subtask of a carrier landing visual simulation. A description of the math model for duplicating the appearance and behavior of the real FLOLS system is provided. The computer generated visual display of the FLOLS was produced through an Evans and Sutherland Computer Corporation LDS-1 (Line Drawing System Model 1) calligraphic display system.
