STANAG 7221 – Lighting Specifications for Military Airstrips and Helipads
STANAG 7221 is a NATO standard that establishes lighting requirements for military airstrips and helipads. It ensures that runway, approach, taxiway, and helipad lighting systems provide optimal visibility for pilots under all operational conditions, including low-light and adverse weather scenarios.
Why is STANAG 7221 Important?
- Enhances Flight Safety – Ensures clear runway and helipad visibility for military aircraft and helicopters.
- Supports Night and All-Weather Operations – Defines NVG-compatible and infrared (IR) lighting for covert missions.
- Standardizes Military Airfield Lighting – Promotes uniform lighting configurations across NATO airbases for interoperability.

Advancements in Airstrip and Helipad Lighting
Modern military airfield lighting has evolved from traditional incandescent systems to high-efficiency LED technology, improving energy efficiency, durability, and visibility range. Advanced infrared (IR) lighting now allows night vision-compatible (NVIS) operations, enhancing covert landing capabilities in tactical scenarios.
Tactical Lighting Integration for Military Airfields
Integrating tactical lighting solutions in military airstrips and helipads involves:
- NVIS Compatibility – Utilizing NVG-compatible lighting to support covert nighttime operations.
- Durability & Weather Resistance – Ensuring lighting fixtures withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, and battlefield conditions.
- Modular & Portable Solutions – Deploying temporary airstrip lighting for rapid-response and forward-operating bases (FOBs).
