A Precision Airdrop System for Cargo Loads Delivery Applications

The Precision Airdrop system is an important system designed to provide critical equipment to soldiers in combat areas where conditions change quickly and hard to guess. This system supports logistics operations using aircraft to supply materials and equipment in more than one location on a single task. Although these places are hostile or limited, the sensitivity of the system allows to provide logistics to the desired point. This event emphasizes how much the possibility of error, including GPS-guided systems used by the Air Force, is present. This paper discusses about developing an Automatic Guidance Unit (AGU) which can be used with a steerable parachute to drop the cargo load from aircraft at predetermined drop zones based on GPS based guidance system.
