Abstract: A drogue for stabilizing a load suspended from a carrier may include a sidewall comprising a sheet material. The sheet material defines a perimeter edge having a coupling portion and leading edge, where the coupling portion has a trailing edge opposing the leading edge, and a side edge extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The drogue also includes a coupling element configured to detachably connect the trailing edge and the side edge to a load having a load surface and an opposing bottom surface, wherein the sidewall is positioned below the bottom surface of the load when so detachably connected.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods for and related to dynamic control of torque and or lateral thrust applied to a load suspended load on a suspension cable to thereby achieve a target orientation or position or to otherwise move with reduced self-induced cyclic motion, with better behavior, and or to respond to changes in the load or disturbance forces.

Abstract: Physical and logical components of a long line loiter control system address control of a long line loiter maneuver conducted beneath a carrier, such as a fixed-wing aircraft. Control may comprise identifying, predicting, and reacting to estimated states and predicted states of the carrier, a suspended load control system, and a long line. Identifying, predicting, and reacting to estimated states and predicted states may comprise determining characteristics of state conditions over time as well as response time between state conditions. Reacting may comprise controlling a hoist of the carrier, controlling thrusters of the suspended load control system, and or controlling or issuing flight control instructions to the carrier so as not to increase the response time and or to avoid a hazard.
