The Airdrop Ballistic Winds (ABW) team at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, conducted flight tests of its 2 μm laser radar (lidar). This system, called the Operationally Capable Lidar (OCL), was installed in a modified C-130 fuel pod. The OCL was designed to: (1) provide real-time, 3-D maps of wind fields between the aircraft and the ground; and (2) significantly improve airdrop accuracy from high altitudes. This paper briefly describes the OCL, the Precision Airdrop simulation (PADS) tool, and flight test activities, including the Precision Airdrop Integrated Demonstration.
