The level of lightning protection and monitoring varies greatly among airports, military locations, and spaceports. The purpose of this session is to discuss and demonstrate the current state of lightning protection at these locations and the improvements made to the protection of the aircraft, spacecraft, and ground support equipment and personnel over the last few years.
