Zusammenfassung:The study evaluates the obstacle impact hazards incurred by operation of Army aircraft at treetop altitudes and describes techniques useful in alleviating those hazards. The magnitude of the problem of obstacle impacts is determined by a statistical analysis of aircraft tree strikes and wire strikes to identify the significant parameters involved. Investigation of sensor techniques and aircraft operating procedures is presented to aid development of obstacle warning systems.
