    TERCOM is a terrain contour matching algorithm that uses terrain maps divided into matrices of different sizes to match radar and pressure altitude data samples from aircraft to reference terrain matrices and determine location. It uses mean absolute difference and normalized mean absolute difference calculations to correlate long and short data samples with long and short reference terrain matrices and minimize downtrack and crosstrack errors in determining position.
