A novel approach was developed and tested to solve the controlled-flight-into-terrrain (CFIT) accidents problem. This approach yielded a sensor flexible and highly dynamic system. A basic overview of Ground Collision Avoidance System (GCAS) is presented with a discussion of possible error sources and their effect on the system. A description of the methods used to validate the GCAS is given. The generic GCAS was tested using the Tactical Aircrew Combat Training System (TACTS)/Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) system. Utilization of the TACTS/ACMI system avoided the need for costly aircraft modifications during the development while proving a test bed diverse in tactical aircraft types.
