Abstract: Horizontal translation, pendular motion, and or yaw control of a load suspended from a carrier with a suspended load control system, wherein control input to the suspended load control system may be provided through the use of more than one remote pendant.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods for and related to dynamic control of torque and or lateral thrust applied to a load suspended load on a suspension cable to thereby achieve a target orientation or position or to otherwise move with reduced self-induced cyclic motion, with better behavior, and or to respond to changes in the load or disturbance forces.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods to determine, communicate, and/or respond to state information of at least one of a suspended load control apparatus, carrier, or load suspended by a cable from the carrier, wherein response to the state information may be to control at least one of the suspended load control apparatus, carrier, or load suspended by a cable from the carrier.

Abstract: Physical and logical components of a long line loiter control system address control of a long line loiter maneuver conducted beneath a carrier, such as a fixed-wing aircraft. Control may comprise identifying, predicting, and reacting to estimated states and predicted states of the carrier, a suspended load control system, and a long line. Identifying, predicting, and reacting to estimated states and predicted states may comprise determining characteristics of state conditions over time as well as response time between state conditions. Reacting may comprise controlling a hoist of the carrier, controlling thrusters of the suspended load control system, and or controlling or issuing flight control instructions to the carrier so as not to increase the response time and or to avoid a hazard.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods to enhance control of a drone-load system, including through drone thrusters or load thrusters.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods to deploy a suspended load control apparatus onto a suspension cable and optionally allowing the suspended load control system to rotate about the suspension cable without imparting a significant rotational force on the suspension cable from rotation of the suspended load control system.
