NASA and the U.S. Army have designed, developed and flight evaluated a Computer Aiding for Low-Altitude Helicopter Flight (CALAHF) guidance system. This system provides guidance to the pilot for near-terrain covert helicopter operations. The system automates the processing of precision navigation information, helicopter mission requirements and terrain flight guidance. This automation is presented to the pilot through symbology on a helmet mounted display. The symbology is a 'pilot-centered' design which preserves pilot flexibility and authority over the CALAHF system's automation. An extensive flight evaluation of the system has been conducted using the U.S. Army's NUH-60 STAR (Systems Testbed for Avionics Research) research helicopter. The evaluations were flown over a multi-waypoint helicopter mission in rugged mountainous terrain. The system was evaluated at terrain clearance altitudes from 300 to 125 feet, and airspeeds from 40 to 110 knots. The results of these evaluations showed that the pilots could precisely follow the automation symbology while maintaining a high degree of situational awareness.
