In support of the F/FB/EF-111 Digital Flight Control System Program Office, subjective and performance data were collected in order to provide the Government and contractor engineers with information needed in the design of a Ground Collision Avoidance System (GCAS) for all P/PB/SF-111 aircraft. The GCAS will serve to alert the crew of an impending ground impact. This decision will be based on sensor data collected mainly from the Combined Altitude Radar Altimeter (CARA).
