Abstract

An aerial payload vehicle descent arrest system, method operating and device, including an aerial payload vehicle configured to descend along a predetermined flightpath toward a target destination, a descent state detection system configured to receive sensor output information from a plurality of sensors, to compute a sensed distance to the target destination based on sensor output information from at least two sensors of the plurality of sensors, and to generate a descent arrest device trigger signal based on a sensed altitude, and a descent arrest device configured to receive the descent arrest device trigger signal from the descent state detection system and to decelerate the aerial payload vehicle before a payload from the aerial payload vehicle is delivered to the target destination.
