Parachute Inflation Phase Estimation and Trajectory Reconstruction

Precise knowledge of the dynamic trajectory of a parachute airdrop is a vital component of canopy and suspension system design as well as for model identification and the development of guided systems.
In an effort to accommodate the highly dynamic and unpredictable nature of many modern-day enemy threats, several guided missile systems are undergoing critical enhancements so as to allow superior responsiveness to rapidly varying or emerging targets. One method of significantly increasing this ability is to provide the capability for the cruise missile to enter into and hold a loiter pattern in the vicinity of probable targets.
