Abstract

A delivery system for aerially delivering one or more packets includes a chassis, coupleable to or formed as part of an aerial vehicle capable of maneuvering the delivery system aerially. At least one flexible wrap is operable to at least partially encompass at least one packet to releasably retain the packet relative to the chassis. A release mechanism is carried by the chassis and a portion of the flexible wrap operably coupled to the release mechanism such that activation of the release mechanism causes the packet to unravel from the wrap to deploy the packet.

Claims (29)

1 . A delivery system for aerially delivering one or more packets, the system comprising:

a chassis, coupleable to or formed as part of an aerial vehicle capable of maneuvering the delivery system aerially;

at least one flexible wrap operable to at least partially encompass at least one packet to releasably retain the packet relative to the chassis; and

a release mechanism, carried by the chassis, a portion of the flexible wrap operably coupled to the release mechanism such that activation of the release mechanism causes the packet to unravel from the wrap to deploy the packet.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the flexible wrap is formed from cloth fabric.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the cloth fabric is stretchable from a first, relaxed configuration into a second, stretched configuration.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the flexible wrap is configured to fully circumscribe the packet.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the flexible wrap is further configured to circumscribe the packet in a plurality of layers.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the flexible wrap includes a length of at least about 24 inches when unfurled.

7 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a tether, coupled between the chassis and at least a portion of the packet, the tether operable to maintain connection between the chassis and the at least a portion of the packet after deployment of the packet.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the packet includes a grenade and wherein the at least a portion of the packet to which the tether is coupled includes a safety pin of the grenade.

9 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a second flexible wrap operable to at least partially encompass a second packet; and

a second release mechanism, a portion of the second flexible wrap operably coupled to the second release mechanism such that activation of the second release mechanism causes the second packet to unravel from the second wrap to deploy the second packet.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the release mechanism and the second release mechanism are independently operable.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the chassis includes at least two depressions formed therein, each depression operable to receive therein a packet.

12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the chassis is coupleable to the aerial vehicle, and wherein the chassis is form-fittable around the aerial vehicle.

13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the release mechanism is remotely activatable.

14 . A delivery system for aerially delivering one or more packets, the system comprising:

a chassis, coupleable to or formed as part of an aerial vehicle capable of maneuvering the delivery system aerially;

at least one stretchable and flexible wrap formed from cloth and operable to circumscribe in a plurality of layers at least one packet to releasably retain the packet relative to the chassis;

a release mechanism, carried by the chassis, a portion of the flexible wrap operably coupled to the release mechanism such that activation of the release mechanism causes the packet to unravel from the wrap to deploy the packet, the release mechanism being remotely activatable; and

a tether, coupled between the chassis and at least a portion of the packet, the tether operable to maintain connection between the chassis and the at least a portion of the packet after deployment of the packet; wherein the packet includes a grenade and wherein the at least a portion of the packet to which the tether is coupled includes a safety pin of the grenade.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the cloth fabric is stretchable from a first, relaxed configuration into a second, stretched configuration.

16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the flexible wrap includes a length of at least 24 inches when unfurled.

17 . The system of claim 14 , further comprising a second flexible wrap operable to at least partially encompass a second packet; and

a second release mechanism, a portion of the second flexible wrap operably coupled to the second release mechanism such that activation of the second release mechanism causes the second packet to unravel from the second wrap to deploy the second packet.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the release mechanism and the second release mechanism are independently operable.

19 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the chassis includes at least two depressions formed therein, each depression operable to receive therein a packet.

20 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the chassis is coupleable to the aerial vehicle, and wherein the chassis is form-fittable around the aerial vehicle.
