In order to aggressively maneuver an aircraft at low altitude, the pilot must be aware of his attitude as well as the elevation of the surrounding terrain. Low altitude tactical maneuvering is difficult during day operations but becomes nearly impossible at night without an effective night attack system. A system that generates a terrain image from onboard data without the use of sensors would be valuable day or night under all weather conditions. Having a terrain image produced on a Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD) will provide a terrain reference wherever the pilot is looking, thus allowing for more aggressive tactical maneuvering at night. Therefore, with the advent of HMD technology, along with the ability to store a digital terrain data base on tactical aircraft, this capability can be realized. The overall objective of this program is to enhance tactical operations by utilizing a digital terrain system data base to generate a Synthetic Terrain Image(STI) on an HMD.
