Abstract

The primary objective of the area of effort called Terrain Avoidance is to provide a flight capability at sufficiently low clearance altitudes above the terrain that the penetrating aircraft will be protected from ground-based or airborne enemy weapons systems by taking advantage of the masking afforded due to the height variations of the terrain.
