"Application of Auto-GCAS into the F-16 fleet is a response to the significant number of mishaps resulting from distracted or incapacitated pilots flying into the ground in an otherwise fully functioning aircraft. Components of the F-16 Auto-GCAS include modifications to the airplane’s digital flight-control computer, advanced data-transfer equipment, and modified mission computer software. As the airplane approaches the ground, the computer determines how much time remains before impact, and then triggers an autopilot-commanded maneuver to avoid a crash."
