The joint FAA/DoD/industry synthetic vision technology demonstration (SVTD), completed in 1993, is but one of the many efforts conducted over the past three decades to provide all- weather visibility to the pilot for landing, take-off, and airport surface operations. The data collected in that demonstration is currently being organized in a database for use by industry, academic and government researchers. This paper summarizes the SVTD program and describes the lessons learned. While the SVTD concluded that there appear to be no insurmountable obstacles to the implementation of synthetic vision the demonstration also underscored the need for further research and development to satisfy specific operational requirements. We discuss some of the issues not yet fully resolved and identify the data still needed and effort required to resolve these issues. Topics addressed include operational requirements, atmospheric conditions, sensor performance, image processing, display performance, image enhancement, data fusion and certification.
