The most effective deterrent to the hazardous build up of airframe ice is the avoidance of those atmospheric regions where meteorological conditions make its accretion possible. This avoidance is only possible through forewarning the pilot, which today is accomplished through the use of pilot encounter reports or weather analysis. A better method is the measurement of actual atmospheric conditions, which requires either the widespread deployment of in-situ measurement devices or the development of remote sensing instrumentation. As part of its aircraft icing research program, the NASA Glenn Research Center is conducting a program to develop technologies for the remote sensing of atmospheric conditions that are conducive to icing. The goal of the program is to develop an integrated package of instruments, suitable for incorporation into the aircraft, which would provide the flight crew with sufficient warning to avoid a region of potential danger.
