Claim 7:
8. A method to control a load suspended from a carrier by a long line, comprising:
obtaining from a first sensor suite a first state information regarding a first position, a first motion, and a first orientation of a load control system, wherein the load control system comprises the first sensor suite and a fan array and is suspended from the carrier by the long line;
obtaining a physical information regarding the long line extending from the hoist to the load control system from a hoist of the carrier;
obtaining a second state information regarding a second position, motion, and orientation of the carrier from a second sensor suite;
with a system model representing the load control system, the carrier, and the long line, determining:
a characteristics of a state of the load control system, the carrier, and the long line over time, and determining a response time among the characteristics of the state of the load control system, the carrier, and the long line over time; and,
based at least in part on the response time among the characteristics of the state of the load control system, the carrier, and the long line over time, controlling the fan array and the hoist, and outputting a navigation instruction to the carrier to influence one or more of the first position, the first motion, and the first orientation of the load control system relative to an objective.
