Runway safety remains the highest risk category in global civil aviation. This whitepaper analyzes empirical deployment of 5.9 GHz C-V2X on airfield vehicles and aircraft taxi systems.
During Category III instrument approach conditions, visual guidance fails. Direct PC5 broadcasts render high-fidelity synthetic tarmac representations inside cockpits, identifying ground vehicles up to 2 km away.
Testing across 10,000 airfield vehicle sorties demonstrated 99.999% packet delivery with an average one-way latency of 1.4 milliseconds, vastly outperforming voice and cellular alternatives.
