Aiaa-2003-2116 Development of Control Algorithm for the Autonomous Gliding Delivery System
The paper considers the development and simulation testing of the control algorithms for an autonomous high-glide aerial delivery system, which consists of 650sq.ft rectangular double-skin parafoil and 500lb payload. The paper applies optimal control analysis to the real-time trajectory generation. Resulting guidance and control system includes tracking this reference trajectory using a nonline...
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 کاملStatistical Analysis of Touchdown Error for Self-Guided Aerial Payload Delivery Systems
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 als...
متن کاملUnmanned Aerial Vehicle Instrumentation for Rapid Aerial Photo System
This research will proposed a new kind of relatively low cost autonomous UAV that will enable farmers to make just in time mosaics of aerial photo of their crop. These mosaics of aerial photo should be able to be produced with relatively low cost and within the 24 hours of acquisition constraint. The autonomous UAV will be equipped with payload management system specifically developed for rapid...
متن کاملStability of small-scale UAV helicopters and quadrotors with added payload mass under PID control
The application of rotorcraft to autonomous load carrying and transport is a new frontier for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This task requires that hovering vehicles remain stable and balanced in flight as payload mass is added to the vehicle. If payload is not loaded centered or the vehicle properly trimmed for offset loads, the robot will experience bias forces that must be rejected. In th...
