Which concept explicitly uses TAWS or GPWS to assess hazards?

Explanation:
CFIT involves aircraft flying into terrain or obstacles under pilot control, often when terrain awareness isn’t immediately obvious. TAWS or GPWS are specifically designed to detect rising terrain and warn the pilot in time to avoid a CFIT event, making this concept center on using those systems to assess and mitigate terrain hazards. The other concepts describe broader processes—decision making under uncertainty, managing workload and tasks, or handling cockpit automation—not specifically tied to warning systems for terrain hazards.
