Precision Guided Airdrop for Vertical Replenishment of Naval Vessels
This paper addresses the investigation into the feasibility of the use of precision guided airdrop as a means to deliver cargo to naval vessels at sea. In this context, precision guided airdrop means delivering unmanned cargo packages that, once dropped from an aircraft at high altitude, have the capability to guide themselves to a precise landing point by controlling an aerodynamic decelerator...
متن کاملPrecision Aerial Delivery Systems in a Tactical Environment
A systems level analysis of precision aerial delivery systems provides a basis for comparing the characteristics of different types of systems and the implications that component and control approach selection have on system performance. High-glide and low-glide systems types are described. The effects of glide ratio, control response and sensor selection on terminal accuracy are analyzed. Wind...
متن کاملLow-Altitude Remote Sensing with Unmanned Radio-Controlled Helicopter Platforms: A Potential Substitution to Satellite-based Systems for Precision Agriculture Adoption under Farming Conditions in Developing Countries
In developing countries with small and medium farm holdings, satellite-based remote sensing is found unsuitable for precision agriculture technology adoption, due to low spatial and high temporal resolution of imagery. Image acquisition system mounted on unmanned helicopter platforms can provide user-specified and near-real time images for quick assessment of the crop and soil status giving eno...
متن کاملOn Development of Autonomous HAHO Parafoil System for Targeted Payload Return
An autonomous HAHO (high altitude, high-opening) parafoil system design is presented as a solution to the final descent phase of an on-demand International Space Station (ISS) sample return concept. The system design is tailored to meet specific constraints defined by a larger study at NASA Ames Research Center, called SPQR (Small Payload Quick-Return). Building on previous work in small, auton...
متن کاملPhotogrammetric Processing of Low Altitude Image Sequences by Unmanned Airship
Low altitude aerial image sequences have the advantages of high overlap, multi viewing and very high ground resolution. These kinds of images can be used in various applications that need high precision or fine texture. This paper mainly focuses on the photogrammetric processing of low altitude image sequences acquired by unmanned airship, which automatically flies according to the predefined f...
