Terrain Awareness

Terrain Awareness is a functional construct within flight management systems that enables real-time assessment and prediction of an aircraft’s spatial relationship to surrounding terrain, distinguishing itself through the integration of navigational data, digital elevation models, and aircraft trajectory intent to enhance situational awareness and support automated threat detection.
