PRECISION AERIAL DELIVERY SYSTEM

摘要

A system and methods for deployment operations from an airborne vehicle are presented. A designated location of a target is received at a flight control system coupled to a location tracking guided container comprising an agent. The location tracking guided container is ejected at an ejection point from the airborne vehicle approximately above the designated location of the target to descend at a descent rate and a descent angle. A calculated path to the designated location is calculated based on the designated location and a current location of the location tracking guided container. The location tracking guided container is aerodynamically guided by a glide control structure to fly along the calculated path from the ejection point to a load release altitude near the designated location of the target. The agent is delivered to the designated location of the target by releasing the agent at the load release altitude near the designated location.

1. A method for deployment operations from an airborne vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving a designated location of a target by a flight control system coupled to a location tracking guided container comprising an agent; ejecting at an ejection point the location tracking guided container from the airborne vehicle approximately above the designated location of the target to descend at a descent rate and a descent angle; calculating a calculated path to the designated location based on the designated location and a current location of the location tracking guided container; aerodynamically guiding the location tracking guided container by a glide control structure coupled thereto to fly along the calculated path from the ejection point to a load release altitude near the designated location of the target; and delivering the agent to the designated location of the target by releasing the agent at the load release altitude near the designated location.
