A system and a method are provided for detecting a surface characteristic of a surface. A plurality of transponders are located on the surface for transmitting electromagnetic surface waves and for receiving the electromagnetic surface waves upon being reflected, diffracted, refracted, scattered, or otherwise altered by ice on the surface. A controller is coupled to the plurality of transponders. The controller is adapted to coordinate the plurality of transponders for imaging the surface characteristic of the surface.
