- Abstract
In areas that cannot be reached by land or sea, the necessary supplies can be delivered by parachute from the air. Airdrop is a commonly used replenishment method in both humanitarian aid operations and military operations. The most important limitations of airdrop replenishment are that the cargo may be affected by the wind and fall into undesirable areas and that the aircraft is vulnerable to enemy air defense systems. GPS-guided, steerable parachutes can be used for high-altitude, longdistance airdrop by protecting the aircraft from enemy air defense weapons and preventing the payload from being blown away by the wind or into the hands of undesirable persons. In this study, the design of the system required by the Turkish Armed Forces is made, the command and control unit is created and the trajectory tracking algorithm is presented.
