  • Abstract
    The automatic guidance of rotorcraft for obstacle avoidance in nap-of-the-earth flight is studied. The author considers a hierarchical breakdown of the guidance components to identify the functional requirements. These requirements and anticipated sensor capabilities lead to a preliminary guidance concept, which has been evaluated via computer simulations
