Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System
Abstract
AGCAS will preserve force structure by reducing attrition of pilots and aircraft that result from 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, AGCAS is forecasted to result in a total DoD savings of approximately 78 pilots and $6.7B in aircraft assets. AGCAS 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.
