Modern day aircraft are capable of flying under severe weather and climatic conditions, even if visibility is at or near zero. In addition, onboard Terrain Following and Terrain Avoidance (TF/TA) systems are being developed to guide the aircraft to its destination in a minimal terrain clearance flight without a human pilot's input. In such a situation, it would be helpful to provide the pilot with an artificial out-of-the-window scene to increase his confidence in the performance of the TF/TA system. A FORTRAN algorithm has been developed at Northrop which will generate a three dimensional perspective terrain display and a two dimensional plan view. Each of these displays are generated from a patch of terrain which is stored in digital format. This paper will describe the algorithm, its memory and computational requirements as well as its development and potential utilization.
