Automated Low-Altitude/Nap-of-the-Earth (NOE) rotorcraft flight in adverse weather has been identified as a major technology void by both military and civil agencies because of its direct relationship to the needs of the military's new scout/attack helicopter and to various civilian applications including Emergency Medical Services (EMS). As part of NASA's Aircraft Automation Program, Ames Research Center has identified as a major goal, the automating and advancing of applicable terrain following/terrain avoidance/obstacle avoidance (TF/TA/OA) guidance technologies to a level where NOE rotorcraft flight can be demonstrated in an advanced simulator and, later, in fully automatic flight. Areas of emphasis to date for achieving automatic guidance include real-time sensor blending and the real-time computation of NOE guidance commands. Here, we report on the guidance command generation. The applicability of TF/TA techniques to the NOE problem is described, and simulation results are presented that suggest that automatic NOE can indeed be accomplished.
