Abstract
This paper presents substantial and detailed information regarding the common issues affecting the design, testing and qualification of a parachute recovery system for all categories of UAVs (reconnaissance, air target, weapon, etc). 1 We assume that our primary audience will be UAV manufacturers and operators. Therefore, in order to familiarize the reader with the basic process of designing and qualifying a recovery system for a UAV, we have provided a simple but detailed exercise in recovery system design and, a review of the program management thereof.
