Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System /Automated Terrain Avoidance and Warning System
Abstract
Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System /Automated Terrain Avoidance and Warning System will preserve force structure by reducing attrition of pilots and aircraft that result from Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT). CFIT occurs at greater rates on fighter attack aircraft and is a leading cause of loss of life and loss of combat capability within the DoD aviation community. At full implementation, Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System /Automated Terrain Avoidance and Warning System will integrate currently implemented manual methodologies to provide not only aural and visual cues/advisories, but also automatic initiation of aircraft recovery and subsequent return of control to the pilot following recovery. Funding supports Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System/Automated Terrain Avoidance and Warning System studies, analysis and functional requirements; communication, navigation and identification related development and integration efforts.
