Wind Uncertainty Modeling and Robust Trajectory Planning for Autonomous Parafoils

A key challenge facing modern airborne delivery systems, such as parafoils, is the ability to accurately and consistently deliver supplies into difficult, complex terrain. Robustness is a primary concern, given that environmental wind disturbances are often highly uncertain and time-varying. This pa...
