MH-53 Pave Low helicopters from the 20th Special Operations Squadron at Hurlburt Field, Fla., fly over a live-fire range June 12 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The helicopter's terrain-following and terrain-avoidance radar, forward-looking infrared sensor, inertial navigation system with global positioning system enable the crew to follow terrain contours. This helps the crew to avoid obstacles in adverse weather, making low-level tactical penetration possible.
