Abstract: An aerial delivery system including a ram-air parachute, one or more recovery parachutes, a mantle removably attached to a cargo, and a controller operably connected to the mantle, the ram-air parachute, and the one or more recovery parachutes. The controller may be configured to receive location information associated with a target, receive information related to an ambient condition, determine a recovery parachute opening point based on the target information and the ambient condition, and cause a navigation of the aerial delivery system to the determined recovery parachute opening point.

Abstract: A guided aerial delivery device which can be used to safely and accurately deliver a payload and supplies from an aircraft in flight to a specific target location in a reduced time. The aerial delivery device uses an overloaded ram-air drogue parachute controlled by a guidance system to steer the payload towards the intended target. When a selected altitude is reached, a recovery parachute is activated and the payload descends the remaining distance under the recovery parachute.

Abstract: A parachute container system including: a reserve compartment; a main compartment; a reserve parachute pathway configured to enable a mechanical connection between a reserve parachute canopy and a reserve parachute connection point external to the parachute container system when a reserve parachute canopy is positioned in the reserve compartment; and a main parachute pathway configured to enable a mechanical connection between a main parachute canopy and a main parachute connection point external to the parachute container system when a main parachute canopy is positioned in the main compartment. When the parachute container system is positioned on a parachutist at least a portion of the reserve compartment is disposed between the main compartment and the parachutist.

Abstract: A guided aerial delivery device which safely and precisely delivers a standard vehicle, personnel and/or cargo, from a high-flying aircraft, to a precise target or location. In the preferred embodiment, the aerial delivery device generally comprises a cage-like module, which encloses and secures a standard, motorized vehicle, a large “ram-air” type gliding parachute, a“drogue” parachute and a “fly-by-wire” control system. The vehicle, typically an ATV, needs no modification. The delivery device employs an onboard human pilot to navigate the module. Upon exiting the aircraft, a drogue parachute stabilizes the freefall of the vehicle and releases the large “ram-air” parachute. The use of a skilled pilot allows the aerial delivery device to be guided to a designated landing site. Upon landing, the vehicle is easily detached from its parachute member and driven away. The cage-like module can be removed from the vehicle in a matter of minutes, or in a preferred application it can be left on the vehicle for future drops and utilized for mission specific tasks on the ground, such as mounting supplies, weapons, instruments etc. The vehicle is fully functional with the cage-like module attached. In an alternate embodiment, a non-powered vehicle is integrated with the enclosure to act as a training vehicle. Upon landing, the training vehicle is simply hitched to a motorized vehicle and driven off.

Abstract: A personnel guided aerial delivery device is disclosed which can be used to safely and precisely deliver personnel, cargo, or a combination of both from an aircraft in flight, to a precise target or location. In the preferred embodiment, the aerial delivery device generally consists of a large "ram-air" type gliding parachute, a "drogue" parachute, an encapsulated crew module, a "fly-by-wire" control system, and a landing impact attenuation system. The aerial delivery device can employ an onboard human pilot to navigate the module. The use of a skilled pilot allows the aerial delivery device to be guided to a designated landing site.
