A present novel and non-trivial system, module, and method for illuminating a target on an aircraft windshield corresponding to a three-dimensional location outside of an aircraft. Navigation data and three-dimensional location data are provided to a control processor; the navigation data may comprise aircraft position, heading, and pitch, roll, and yaw attitudes, and the three-dimensional location data may comprise a runway reference point. After an external target angle and track angle are determined, control data may be generated as a function of pitch, roll and/or yaw attitudes, glide path angle, track angle, and cockpit references originating from a design eye position. Control data may comprise data representative of vertical and/or lateral measurements which position a beam on a windshield target. Then, the control data may be provided to an illumination source for positioning a beam on the windshield target in response to the control data. |
