question about the state of the arts of landing aids on aircraft carriers
Do a Google search on "carrier landing mode III"

Though my interest in military aviation in general is quite old, my knowledge is somewhat superficial... I was wondering if there was any substantial development in landing aids on CVs since the "ball & lens" system (dunno if that's the correct term, I lend it from a book)? Taking into account that computer technology is a fast developing field and that in the age of fly-by-wire systems more and more aircraft reach the services that should at least theoretically have sufficient capabilities, I'd have expected systems by now that would provide fully automatic landings (at least for certain aircraft types). Is or was there such a system in existence or development by now? Thanks for any clarification... T.C. Despammed.COM is a provider with industrial grade SPAM-Filtering.
