DSI, Inc., was contracted to develop an alternate recovery system to the Lockheed AQUILA system-arresting hook and cable. A vertical net with disk brake and horizontal air bag was developed and successfully tested using the Sky Eye RPV as a test vehicle at weights up to 150 pounds. This report documents design selection and test data. (Author)
