Statistical Analysis of Touchdown Error for Self-Guided Aerial Payload Delivery Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper overviews the distributions of touchdown error for a variety of different-weight selfguided parafoil-based payload delivery systems as demonstrated at several Precision Airdrop Technology and Demonstration (PATCAD) events in Yuma, AZ within the period of 2001-2009. The paper aims at establishing the correct procedure to estimate an accuracy of an aerial payload delivery system and also looking at the effect that a guidance law might have on a touchdown error distribution. These approaches and estimates should help a tester community in preparation for the aerodynamic deceleration system (ADS) tests and analysis of their results.

متن کاملSteganography Scheme Based on Reed-Muller Code with Improving Payload and Ability to Retrieval of Destroyed Data for Digital Images
In this paper, a new steganography scheme with high embedding payload and good visual quality is presented. Before embedding process, secret information is encoded as block using Reed-Muller error correction code. After data encoding and embedding into the low-order bits of host image, modulus function is used to increase visual quality of stego image. Since the proposed method is able to embed...
متن کاملNonlinear Control with Swing Damping of a Multirotor UAV with Suspended Load
In this paper, we consider the problem of trajectory tracking of a multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle carrying a suspended payload. The movement of the suspended payload influences the dynamics of the multirotor, which must be appropriately handled by the controller to achieve satisfactory tracking results. We derive a mathematical model of the interconnected multi-body system using Kane’s equa...
