It was not possible to store data for an entire flight, so smaller segments were stored and used to periodically update a conventional navigation system in what was called a TERCOM-Aided Inertial Navigation System(TAINS). In TAINS, the inertial guidance system navigated the missile from one [terrain contour matching(TERCOM) ] checkpoint to the next, with the computer updating the inertial guidance system and correcting the missile's course.  2, record 4, English, - TERCOM%2DAided%20Inertial%20Navigation%20System

The Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) has approved the use of Allied Signal' s enhanced ground proximity warning system(EGPWS) on all American Airlines Boeing 757 aircraft.... The new EGPWS provides a detailed map of the terrain in the vicinity of the aircraft. Using an existing navigation system, such as the Global Positioning System(GPS), the aircraft's position is correlated with a database-driven terrain map which provides the pilot with real time awareness of the aircraft's position. The moving map, which is displayed on a cockpit screen, will aid the pilot in maintaining proper altitude and terrain clearance.  3, record 6, English, - enhanced%20ground%20proximity%20warning%20system

DFAD is a standard NIMA [National Imagery and Mapping Agency] product that supports radar return simulation, navigation and terrain obstruction studies. When combined with DTED [Digital Terrain Elevation Data], DFAD provides an off-line data base for use by weapon system flight simulators and other types of simulation, such as line of sight, obstruction and perspective view development. It portrays major natural and man-made features on the Earth's surface; the features and associated attributes of which are generally of radar reflectance significance. Content is derived from both cartographic and photo-grammetric source material.  2, record 11, English, - digital%20feature%20analysis%20data

LANTIRN consists of a navigation pod and a targeting pod integrated and mounted externally beneath the aircraft. The AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod provides high-speed penetration and precision attack on tactical targets at night and in adverse weather. The naviation pod also contains a terrain-following radar and a fixed infrared sensor, which provides a visual cue and input to the aircraft's flight control system, enabling it to maintain a preselected altitude above the terrain and avoid obstacles. This sensor displays an infrared image of the terrain in front of the aircraft, to the pilot, on a head-up display. The navigation pod enables the pilot to fly along the general contour of the terrain at high speed, using mountains, valleys and the cover of darkness to avoid detection.  2, record 12, English, - navigation%20pod
