Flights tests of a smartphone-
assisted automatic ground
collision avoidance system at
NASA's Dryden Flight Research
Center consistently commanded
evasive maneuvers when it
sensed that the unmanned test
aircraft was getting too close to
mountainous terrain. When fully
developed, the technology could
help prevent controlled-flight-
into-terrain accidents by general
aviation and unmanned aircraft.
