Precision aerial delivery systems : modeling, dynamics, and control /

This book provides an overview of the recent developments in precision aerial cargo delivery from the standpoint of developing guidance, navigation and control (GNC) algorithms for the self-guided parafoil and parachute-based aerial delivery systems (PADS). Topics include: PADS and measures of their...
