Auto Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto GCAS)
Abstract
This program will nearly eliminate CFIT accidents, a leading cause of F-16 loss of pilots and aircraft. One study predicted this capability could have saved 10 pilots and 15 aircraft lost from CFIT accidents had it been available. In Mar 08, the Combat Air Force Requirements Oversight Council (CAFROC) directed development of Auto GCAS for F-16 Blk 40-52 aircraft. Production configurations of the remaining software items will be incorporated during the M6.2+ effort that will field in FY14, which will enable the Auto GCAS function.
