    Abstract: An active landing gear damping system and method for decelerating a vehicle during a terrain impact event, such as an aircraft landing or crash. The system monitors aircraft state data and terrain information to predict an impact of the vehicle with the terrain. The system can then determine a target damper force for each landing gear of the vehicle and a predicted damper velocity at the time of impact. Each landing gear can include an adjustable damper valve, wherein adjustment of the damper valves varies the damping coefficient of the respective dampers. The system can adjust valves of the respective dampers to provide the target force based on the predicted damper velocity. After an impact begins, the system can continuously monitor and adjust the valve to maintain the target force.

    Abstract: Apparatus for controlling vehicle impact absorption systems and related methods are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a predictor to generate a prediction of an impact event for a vehicle based on data received from sensors of the vehicle. The example apparatus includes an energy absorption allocator to determine an amount of vehicle energy to be absorbed by a crash protection system of the vehicle upon the impact event. The example apparatus includes a communicator to generate an instruction to activate the crash protection system based on the prediction and the amount of vehicle energy to be absorbed by the crash protection system and transmit the instruction to a controller of the crash protection system.
