A helicopter Terrain-Following/Terrain-Avoidance (TF/TA) system was developed and evaluated using a real-time piloted simulation. The TF/TA system included a guidance algorithm based upon dynamic programming and a head-up display (HUD) concept which incorporates a pathway in the sky, a phantom aircraft, and flightpath vector/predictor symbology. The simulation was conducted at the NASA Ames Research Center Interchangeable Cab (ICAB) Laboratory using NASA test pilots. The pilots performed the TF/TA task by manually tracking the HUD symbology. The pilots were able to satisfactorily perform the TF/TA tasks with an acceptable level of pilot workload.
