Air Force video: F-16 pilot saved by automatic collision avoidance system

More info about the system here: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/armstrong/Features/Auto-GCAS_Ins...

The initial prototype ran on a smartphone aboard a small drone, and they'll make versions for the F-22 and F-35 too.

Just last week an F-18 pilot sadly flew straight into a mountain side here in Switzerland (https://www.yahoo.com/news/altitude-data-blame-mystery-f-18-...), such a system could have avoided that.

Here's an F-16 pilot talking to the creators of the Auto-GCAS system (Air Force Research Laboratory) about how important the system is to him and his colleagues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6WbBAplCLo

And here's a video of the system in testing - it's an almost identical circumstance to the one in the OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPr2LWctwYQ

Wow, look at that altimeter. 5000 feet in a couple of seconds.

Whoo baby! 8.3g blackout right into a 9.1g recovery. That's a gut check and a half.

It avoided the immediate danger, but how did they finally get him to land safely? Did he recover after briefly passing out? Did they get him out some other way?

By the way, the top left number (one decimal point) is the G force.
