The U.S. Air Force’s F-16D Automatic Collision Avoidance Technology (ACAT) aircraft cruised during a flight originating from NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center. NASA Dryden worked with the Air Force Research Laboratory in the ACAT Fighter Risk Reduction Project to develop collision avoidance technologies for fighter/attack aircraft that would reduce the risk of ground and mid-air collisions. NASA Dryden led the project’s integrated test team, responsible for the technical content of test and evaluation, maintenance of the Air Force F-16D test aircraft, project management and engineering services, and provided the project’s chief pilot.March 24, 2009
