A strategy for the aerial recovery of a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) involves coordination of a larger aircraft, a flexible and extensible cable, and a controllable capture device at the end of the cable. Aerial release and capture allows deployment of MAVs for reconnaissance missions in inhospitable areas that are outside of the MAV range. Controlling the aerial capture requires precise position, velocity, and trajectory following in the presence of cross-wind disturbances.
