ABSTRACT:
The present invention utilizes a conventional aircraft landing and approach indicator in conjunction with a pilot controllable television camera and supporting aircraft computer for tracking an airdrop target and displaying the locus of payload ground impact points directly on the television image of the terrain being approached by the aircraft. The airdrop information is presented in such a manner which does not distract the pilot from the basic task of flying the aircraft by providing automatic calculation and continuous automatic updating of the airdrop information with respect to meteorological and aircraft flight path characteristics.
