At the time of going to press, phase two of the C-17 TERPROM TAWS test programme was scheduled to begin during early 2002, with initial installation of production systems slated for mid-2002.

Navigation is based on a combination of GPS and Terprom (TERrain PROfile Matching).

As part of this evaluation programme an F-16 close air support/night attack demonstrator was flown carrying the following special equipment: Cat's Eye night goggles, raster HUD, the digital TERPROM (TERain PROfile Matching) system, the ATHS (Automatic Target Hand-off System) and a navigation and target assignation pod.
