High intensity IR LED's in the landing lights would do the job quite well
without having to worry about the reflected active illumination from the
main landing lights, in conjunction with IR reflectors (as used on the
back
of most military vehicles in night time full tactical situations) would
finish the job,

the last couple of months, and it would seem pretty trivial"

MILspec goes to -40. I had a freezer to test electronics
that went lower, wires shatter, metal brittles. You'll need
to extend your specs to -120F.

your also assuming that the de-icing on the AC is turned off ??


:-), you can email the A-S base and ask them,
maybe you have good idea!
