This paper presents an overview of the Affordable Guided Airdrop System (AGAS). AGAS is a low cost, high aititude, deployable airdrop system that will be autonomously controlled via an onboard Guidance, Navigation & Control System (GN&C). The AGAS consists of a round parachute that is controlled via four pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs) which are connected between the system's payload and risers.
