IIRC the Mojave desert glider pilots called that the "CIA strip".
It also appeared briefly on a video clip created by GM-Hughes, shortly after GM bought Hughes Aircraft. It was of heads-up display - and IR video - in a corporate jet and the clip was of an approach into that strip.
The project went nowhere when I guess GM decided not to use Hughes technology to get into the avionics business. A simpler HUD version did go into a few GM vehicles at that time though.
