Design and simulation of an autonomous airdrop capability
FY 2025-26 · 2025-09-01
Summary
Airdrop has the potential to expand the reach of autonomous aircraft delivering time-critical cargo. However, autonomous airdrop requires advanced navigation and control systems to deliver goods safely and accurately. In this project, Ribbit is developing airdrop navigation and control software that delivers new capabilities on top of its existing autonomous stack.

Description
Airdrop has the potential to expand the reach of autonomous aircraft delivering time-critical cargo. However, autonomous airdrop requires advanced navigation and control systems to deliver goods safely and accurately. In this project, Ribbit is developing airdrop navigation and control software that delivers new capabilities on top of its existing autonomous stack.
Description (French)
Le largage aérien a le potentiel d’étendre la portée des aéronefs autonomes qui livrent des cargaisons critiques. Cependant, le largage autonome nécessite des systèmes de navigation et de contrôle avancés pour livrer les marchandises en toute sécurité et avec précision. Dans ce projet, Ribbit développe un logiciel de navigation et de contrôle des largages aériens qui offre de nouvelles capacités en plus de sa pile autonome existante.
