| dc.description.abstract | The Affordable Guided Airdrop System (AGAS) integrates a low-cost guidance and control system into fielded cargo air delivery systems. This study evaluated the feasibility of this concept and included the design and execution of a flight test program to assess prototype system performance, as well as modeling efforts to develop initial guidance and control techniques leading to an evaluation of the feasibility of the AGAS concept. The flight test program provided adequate flight dynamic data for the AGAS system. The wind measurement techniques employed for this effort, through the use of a "calibration" parachute system, provided wind estimates that were not previously available. | en_US |
