Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) constitutes a large category of Class A mishaps. CFIT occurs when the pilot's attention is diverted in a controllable aircraft resulting in impact with the ground. Warning systems which provide aural warning of impending CFIT have existed in commercial aircraft for some time. Because tactical aircraft operate at low altitudes and have high performance capabilities, systems for commercial aircraft have not proven suitable for tactical aircraft. Due to differences in missions, sensors, hardware configurations, performance capability, etc., each warning system developed for a tactical aircraft will be unique. This report presents performance criteria for use in developing a ground collision warning system for tactical aircraft. Keywords: Collision warning; Flight control; Controlled flight into Terrain; Flight safety. (SDW)
