December 1, 201212 yr Fellow Fighter, Bomber, and Attack pilots I am writing a paper for my final master's class on Auto Ground Collision Avoidance systems and I would greatly appreciate your participation completing a survey in order to help me complete that paper. If you have any military time in fighter, bomber or attack aircraft you can access this 15 question anonymous survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/67688D6 Thanks for your help. If you have any questions regarding the survey or project, please direct them to autogcas@yahoo.com
December 1, 201212 yr No love for the herbivores? Have tanker pilots started GLOC'ing in the tanker track and running jets into the dirt recently?Or strafing after getting tail numbers?
December 1, 201212 yr Maybe not GLOC, but falling asleep after eating a hot pizza out of the oven, while orbiting in the anchor...or while watching movies while in orbit. That shit can kill you!

December 2, 201212 yr Or helping to find a Viper driver after he ditched in the Pacific. This wouldn't have helped that. It's coming to a Viper near you next year from what I hear at our test center.
December 2, 201212 yr What is auto GCAS? GCAS is Ground Collision Avoidance System. Its a system where the aircraft recovers itself if the computer thinks its going to pack it into the dirt. The systems I've seen are based on DTED (computer-stored terrain data). A few variations have been tested at Edwards over the years in the Viper. I'm not sure if its in the plan for the F-35. There's obvious discussion on when you do/don't want it and what margin(s) between dirt and auto recovery you want. Edit: damn you, autocorrect Edited December 2, 201212 yr by Dupe
