Report describes early stages of development of control system enabling helicopter to follow automatically contours of terrain below and avoid collisions with terrain. Focuses on optimization of algorithm for generation of flightpath with respect to several variables, development of controller to position helicopter precisely along terrain-following/terrain-avoidance (TF/TA) flightpath, and integration of flightpath-trajectory software with flightpath-control software.
