Prototype Precision Aidrop System: Model Development and Simulation
Prototype Precision Aidrop System: Model Development and Simulation

Summary/Abstract: The greater effectiveness in humanitarian aid has never been more important, but the progress in the capacity to deliver assistance in crisis situations leads to the effectiveness of the humanitarian sector being increasingly questioned. The best and safest way for humanitarian organizations to deliver aid to crisis areas has been by airdrops that in addition to being difficult and expensive are not a foolproof method.The idea behind this paper is to propose an alternative, simple, reliable, low cost and easy to use prototype of a precision airdrop system that would mitigate the effects of the variables that hinder precision in ballistic airdrops based on calculations of different algorithms. The model development presents the system's backbone in algorithms while the simulation section is results oriented and serves as evidence of the working capacity of the system.
