Blind approach beacon system A blind approach beacon system or beam approach beacon system ( BABS ) is an automatic radar landing system developed in the early 1940s . It is a responder ( or transponder ) mounted in a Hillman van and placed at the end of the runway . In some cases fixed sites were installed and by the mid - 1950s Standard 9 vans were in use . It was interrogated by a " Rebecca " unit mounted in an aircraft . It responded by transmitting dot s on one side of the runway and dash es on the other . The strength of the reception in the aircraft depended on the aircraft ' s position relative to the centre line of the runway . The aircraft ' s equipment could then determine its position relative to these dots and dashes . This is an early version of the localizer from the more modern instrument landing system ( ILS ) . The localizer uses two tones ( 90 and 150 Hz ) modulated on a carrier ( 108 - 111 . 975 MHz ) and transmitted on a wide aperture antenna array , this can be seen at almost all airports at the end of the runway . The strengths of which ( or Difference in Depth of Modulation ) are detected by electronics in the aircraft and present the pilot with an indication to fly left or right and indeed up or down with a co - located glidepath ( 328 . 6 to 335 . 4 MHz ) equipment . See instrument landing system for further details .
