Abstract:
The paper describes an outline of a system of precise delivery of water capsule to a given point. Theoretical model of the capsule's flight, the method of numerical computing its trajectory under various limiting conditions and the scheme of the system of acquisition and transmission of the data serving as initial conditions for numerical computation are presented. Results of field experiments verifying theoretical model and numerical methods of computing the trajectory of a water-capsule by comparison of computed and registered trajectories after its release from a helicopter in the horizontal forward flight are reported as well.
