Abstract
An airborne delivery system employs unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) released from an airborne platform, such as a Joint Precision Airdrop System (JPAD), to more accurately deliver supplies. The airborne delivery system is configured to be mounted on a JPAD, or similar airborne platform. As with a conventional JPAD, the JPAD is then released from an airborne vehicle. After a certain amount of flight time, one or more UAVs are released mid-flight from the airborne delivery system.
