Abstract :
The paper considers the development and simulation testing of the control algorithms for an autonomous high-glide aerial delivery system, which consists of 650 sq. ft rectangular double-skin parafoil and 500lb payload. The paper starts with the optimal control analysis and applies it further to the real-time trajectory generation. Resulting guidance and control system includes tracking this reference trajectory using a nonlinear tracking controller. The paper presents the description of the algorithm along with simulation results.
