This research deals with precision deployment of objects using an autonomous helicopter. The main sensor used for deployment is GPS. The helicopter is given a either a single pre-surveyed location or a set of way-points on which to deploy. It is required to navigate from an initial position to the given location(s) and deploy. The deployment position is actively estimated using Newton's laws of motion. Experimental results from flight tests are presented which show that the deployment is consistent and accurate to approximately 1.5 meters. Currently we are in the process of extending it to vision based deployment. This would involve detection of a target, tracking of the target and then autonomous deployment.
