Differential GPS - Used to define a "safe to arm" area for the aircraft to drop a weapon. This would be built into the aircraft and would provide an independent fail safe to reduce chance that weapons will be dropped off range.
AUTO Ground Collision Avoidance System (GCAS) - Developed on F-16 AFTI. Used as a back up to prevent controlled flight into terrain during operator loss of situational awareness (SA) or loss of data link.
Light-Weight TV Cameras and Microphones - Very low cost and size used to provide feedback on all aspects of the aircraft. Inside bombay, wheel wells and aft of the aircraft can be used to improved SA.
Passive RADAR reflectors - Used in flight test to allow good radar reflection in case of IFF failure. Improves range safety.
