  • Abstract
    This paper deals with the terrain awareness warning study to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of forward-looking applications and technologies in terrain awareness warning system(TAWS) to mitigate the controlled flight into terrain risk in military helicopter operations. TAWS provides maximum CFIT protection while minimizing nuisance warnings in mountainous terrain and obstacle-rich environments.
