What is claimed is: 1. A method for automatically navigating a vehicle in an auto-avoidance situation, the method comprising: a) analyzing two or more paths with respect to information stored in a database regarding obstructions, each path comprising a single directional heading; b) selecting one of the analyzed paths based on the analysis; c) generating navigation signals based on the selected paths; and d) automatically navigating the vehicle based on the generated navigation signals, if an auto-avoidance condition exists; e) performing a-d only when an alert condition has been identified and no pilot input has been received within a predefined period since the identification of the alert condition, wherein the alert condition is identified based on obstruction information other than previously unknown obstruction information. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein analyzing is further based on at least one of performance capabilities of the vehicle, speed of the vehicle, and performing an integrity analysis. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein analyzing further includes storing the vehicle path information in a database. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the vehicle is at least one of a surface based vehicle, a subsurface based vehicle, and an airborne vehicle. 5. A computer program product stored on a computer readable medium for generating navigation signals for a vehicle in an auto-avoidance situation, the computer program product comprising: a first component for analyzing two or more paths with respect to information stored in a database regarding obstructions, each path comprising a single directional heading; a second component for selecting one of the analyzed paths based on the analysis; a third component for generating navigation signals based on the selected paths; and if an auto-avoidance condition exists, a fourth component to send vehicle control commands to a vehicle control system wherein the vehicle control system automatically controls the vehicle based on vehicle control commands, wherein the auto-avoidance condition is determined by a collision warning system and an auto-recovery system. 6. The computer program product of claim 5, wherein the first component for analyzing is further based on at least one of performance capabilities of the vehicle, speed of the vehicle, and performing an integrity analysis. 7. The computer program product of claim 5, wherein the first component for analyzing further includes storing the vehicle path information in a database. 8. The computer program product of claim 5, wherein the vehicle is at least one of a surface based vehicle, a subsurface based vehicle, and an airborne vehicle. 9. A system for generating navigation signals for a vehicle in an auto-avoidance situation, the system comprising: means for receiving obstruction information; means for authenticating an obstruction included in the received obstruction information using an integrity check; and means for analyzing possible vehicle routes, each route comprising a single directional heading; wherein the system is coupled to a vehicle control system and has the ability to automatically control the vehicle, if an auto-avoidance situation exists, wherein the auto-avoidance condition is determined by a collision warning system and an auto-recovery system. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the obstruction information comprises information regarding terrain, obstacles and protected airspace. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein the system is coupled to a database in order to store flight path information and obstruction information. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the system is further coupled to at least one of a terrain database, airport database, obstacle database, and a protected airspace database. 13. The system of claim 9, wherein the route is selected based on vehicle capabilities, proximity of chosen path, and vehicle speed. 14. The system of claim 9, wherein the vehicle is at least on of a surface based vehicle, a subsurface based vehicle, and an airborne vehicle. 15. The computer program product of claim 5, wherein the first, second, third and fourth components operate only when an alert condition has been identified and no pilot input has been received within a predefined period since the identification of the alert condition, wherein the alert condition is identified based on obstruction information other than previously unknown obstruction information. 16. The system of claim 9, wherein the means operate only when an alert condition has been identified and no pilot input has been received within a predefined period since the identification of the alert condition, wherein the alert condition is identified based on obstruction information other than previously unknown obstruction information.
