In an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein an airfield lighting system that employs an IR emitter. The IR emitter can be located within an airfield lighting fixture or external to the lighting fixture. Activating the IR emitter can enable an Enhanced Flight Vision System (“EFVS”) to determine the location of lighting fixtures which may be undetectable by the EFVS, such as Light Emitting Diode (“LED”) fixtures.
