Abstract: In a directionally-ranging device adapted for airborne use as a terrain-following system, means for limiting or modifying the effective field of view of the system during a lateral or turning maneuver of a utilizing vehicle, to view that terrain about the predicted flight path associated with such maneuver. The azimuth direction angle of the directivity of the directionally-ranging device is varied from a forward direction toward the direction of the turn maneuver, while range-gating means blanks-out signals received from terrain lying in such maneuver direction and beyond the predicted flight path, whereby the utility of such terrain following system during lateral maneuvering is improved.

Abstract: A terrain avoidance system for airborne use and employing a forward-looking, nodding, non-radiating sensor (or radiometer) for sensing the direction of the horizon, in cooperation with a downward-looking radar altimeter, whereby the probability of over-the-horizon detection of a utilizing aircraft is minimized.
