Guided Cargo Parachute
Basics
- A Device that attaches to Air Cargo similar to that used for Low-Altitude Parachute-Extraction, but with a steerable Ram-Air Parachute that is controlled by a computer
- Uses GPS, GLONASS, Galileo (Satellite Navigation System), some other Satalite Navigation System, or LORAN to Guide it
- Lands in a precise landing area that is pre programmed into it
- Similar to the USA system Joint Precision Airdrop System
- May be desired by various delivery groups for remote drone delivery of buly supplies (ie amazon?)
- Useful When Low-Altitude Parachute-Extraction is needed, but the skills aren't available, or the risk is considered too high
