An ATC'er on SSP says this is probably overkill, as the type of weather below our current ILS minimums only happens for literally a few hours every year. But if the airport authority wants it they can have it.
The question is will they install this system on the existing runway 16/34 once the new parallel is up and running and 16R/34L gets work done on it.
