EDP= emergency destruct package

Most military UAV's are equipped with an EDP to terminate the flight in the event that they loose control of the aircraft. There was some discussion EDPs back in 05'.

I've been in contact with a group developing something different. They call theirs an Emergency Descent Package. It utilizes a self-actuated parafoil combined with a GPS tracker to facilatate payload recovery.
