A technology that can help prevent pilots from colliding with the ground has begun its initial testing on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
The Air Force variant of the fifth-generation jet has begun flying with the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System, known as Auto-GCAS, in recent tests at Edwards Air Force Base, California, the Air Force said in a news release. The 461st Flight Test Squadron recently began test flights to see if Auto-GCAS remained compatible with the other computer systems on board the Lockheed Martin-made aircraft.
