The Precision Aerial Delivery System is an instrument designed to improve the poor landing accuracy of aerial delivery system with conventional circular parachutes, and is equipped with an Airborne Guidance Unit to safely transport supplies to the desired destination. Currently, the landing accuracy of the PADS product is reported as CEP₅₀ 100m and also differs significantly, depending on the actual topography and weather environment. In this study, HILS was constructed based on the 6DOF nonlinear modeling of PADS to analyze the maneuver characteristics of Ram Air Parachute under wind environments. By using the new algorithm a precision soft landing algorithm including Energy Management and Final Approach is designed. HILS results show that it is possible to achieve a precise soft landing within CEP₅₀ 40m, and it can be exploited to develop an actual PADS drop test.

The configuration model of a ballute type RAID(Ram Air Inflated Decelerator) for reducing the high speed and high revolution of smart submuntion is designed and tested. Three dimensional incompressible turbulent flow computational fluid dynamic analysis for the assembly of ballute and submunition is performed and pressure distribution, velocity, and drag around the assembly is calculated. Aerodynamic characteristics of the ballute assembly such as air flow inside and outside of the ballute and pressure distribution is clearly shown and it's drag coefficient is computed. Trajectory analysis of the submunition is performed and is in good agreement with the descending trajectory data of experimental model tested.
