Research abstract

The Small Payload Precision Air-Launched Inexpensive Delivery System (SPPAIDS) is a low-cost air-deployable system designed to improve small-payload precision delivery capability at long standoff ranges. The purpose of this proposal is to develop, build, and demonstrate a functional prototype aircraft. Technology development will include the aero design and prototyping of the glider vehicle, mechanical design and testing of the shock attenuation method, software development to demonstrate precision landing, and material/manufacturing development to support rapid destructibility. Demand for a system to precisely deliver small payloads has been largely unmet in military and commercial applications. The SPPAIDS system will meet this commercial and military demand with a system that precisely delivers up to 25 pounds of payload, with minimal cost and labor required from the end user.
