The Defense Research Establishment Valcartier(DREV) is undertaking the development of an Eye-Safe Laser-Based Obstacle Warning Helicopter Flight Instrument System(ELBOWS) for helicopter near-terrain operations. The system is intended to provide a timely warning to helicopter pilots when they are approaching objects in their flight path which are difficult or impossible to see in day, night and degraded weather conditions. 1, record 1, English, - near%2Dterrain%20operation

The first type of precision airdrop is a single system called AGAS(Affordable Guided Airdrop System) that uses in-service round cargo parachutes. A detailed knowledge of the wind patterns at the drop location is used to calculate the required flight path and drop point. The flight path is maintained by the system's ability to pull slips which dump air from one side of the canopy. By incorporating wind data with this limited method of steering, the system has proven capable of landing an average of 48 meters away from the intended grid reference when deployed from 13 000 ft above ground level. This accuracy is phenomenal given that the present LF freefall cylinder rarely even hits a large drop zone when deployed from 5, 000 feet above ground evel(AGL). AGAS is the cheapest precision airdrop system presently available. 2, record 3, English, - affordable%20guided%20airdrop%20system

Il n'y a actuellement qu'un seul système qui permet le premier type de largage de précision, soit le système peu coûteux de largage de précision (AGAS - Affordable Guided Airdrop System). Ce système comprend le parachute circulaire actuellement en service pour le largage de matériels. Des données précises au sujet des vents sur les lieux du parachutage sont nécessaires pour calculer la trajectoire de vol et déterminer le point d'atterrissage. Le système est en mesure de maintenir la trajectoire de vol en commandant des glissades qui laissent échapper de l'air en un point du périmètre de la voilure. Comme ce système tient compte des données sur les vents en plus de diriger la charge par le biais de glissades, il permet des atterrissages dont l'écart moyen n'est que de 48 mètres par rapport à la coordonnée du point d'atterrissage prévu, lorsque la voilure est déployée à 13 000 pi au-dessus du sol (AGL). Cette précision n'est rien de moins que phénoménale en comparaison avec la faible précision de l'actuel système de largage de cylindre en chute libre, dont l'atterrissage se produit rarement à l'intérieur du périmètre d'une grande ZL, avec déploiement de la voilure à 5 000 pi (AGL). Le système GAS est le système de largage de précision le moins cher actuellement disponible. 1, record 3, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20peu%20co%C3%BBteux%20de%20largage%20de%20pr%C3%A9cision
