    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for delivering a load (19) onboard an aircraft (2) to a target. The method comprises: acquiring a position of the target; acquiring parameter values relating to aircraft manoeuvrability; acquiring load properties; acquiring parameter values relating to environmental conditions; using the acquired information, determining a position and a velocity value; performing, by the aircraft (2), the procedure; and, at a point in the procedure that the aircraft (2) has the determined position and its travelling at a velocity equal to the determined velocity value, releasing the load (19). The determined position and velocity value are such that, were the aircraft (2) to release the load (19) whilst having the determined position and velocity, the load (19) would travel to be within a predetermined distance of the target. The procedure is such that the aircraft (2) would have the determined position and velocity at some time-step.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to cooperatively lift a payload (110) are disclosed. An example method to control a lift vehicle (102) includes determining (704) a first positional state of the lift vehicle (102) with respect to a payload (110) controlled by a plurality of lift vehicles (102, 104, ...) including the lift vehicle (102), determining (706) a second positional state of the lift vehicle (102) with respect to a goal location, detecting distances (708) to the other ones of the plurality of lift vehicles (102, 104, ...), determining (710) a third positional state of the lift vehicle (102) based on the distances to the other ones of the plurality of lift vehicles (102, 104, ...), and calculating (712-720) a control command to control the lift vehicle (102) based on the first positional state, the second positional state, and the third positional state.

    Abstract: An actual position of a load tethered with a tether to a vehicle is determined using a plurality of sensors disposed on the vehicle. A required tether tension and required tether angle of the tether is determined to move the load from the actual position to a commanded position. An actual tether tension and actual tether angle of the tether is determined using the plurality of sensors. A determination is made as to a thrust vector to be applied by the vehicle to change the actual tether tension and the actual tether angle of the tether to the required tether tension and the required tether angle. The thrust vector is applied with the vehicle to reposition the vehicle to achieve the required tether angle and to create the required tether tension of the tether to move the load to the commanded position.

    Abstract: A modular vehicle management system is described, comprising a controller module configured to control different types of carrier modules. The controller module includes a computer system and optionally one or more sensors. The computer system is configured to perform operations comprising detecting whether a carrier module is connected to the controller module. If the carrier module is connected to the controller module, the carrier module is authenticated. If the authentication fails, operation of the vehicle is inhibited. The control module is configured to determine carrier module capabilities including information regarding a navigation processing device, and/or a radio modem. The controller adapts to the capabilities of the controller module. Using information from the sensors and the navigation processing device, the vehicle management system navigates the vehicle.
