A ground collision avoidance system (GCAS) for an aircraft is disclosed. A radio frequency (RF) sensor senses a location of an obstacle with respect to the aircraft moving along the ground. An expected location of the obstacle with respect to the aircraft is determined from the sensed location and a trajectory of the aircraft. An alarm signal is generated when the expected location of the obstacle is less than a selected criterion.
