TAWS logo

Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) is a safety backup system designed to reduce Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) by warning the pilot of imminent impact with the ground and providing a directive aural and/or visual response. GPWS/TAWS are safety-backup systems, NOT performance aids. The GPWS/TAWS Software Development Team is CMM Level 3 assessed and has over ten years of experience.

The GPWS team can be reached via email at PMA209GPWS@navy.mil.
