A computer-implemented method of training a machine learning, ML algorithm to control spin-stabilized steerable projectiles is described. The method comprises: obtaining training data including respective policies and corresponding trajectories of a set of spin-stabilized steerable projectiles including a first projectile, wherein each policy relates to steering a projectile of the set thereof towards a target and wherein each corresponding trajectory comprises a series of states in a state space of the projectile (S2001); and training the ML algorithm comprising determining relationships between the respective policies and corresponding trajectories of the projectiles of the set thereof based on respective results of comparing the trajectories and the targets (S2002).

The present invention discloses a disruptive low capital and operational cost logistics system and method that provides for fast and massive delivery of e-commerce merchandise, including same day delivery, of thousands of items and packages, in extensive geographical areas, such as whole states, countries and continents, reducing the need for building, operating, or using multiple fulfillment warehouses located near the consumers as in traditional e-commerce logistics, creating a revolution in the e-commerce industry worldwide. In a disruptive manner, the systems and methods of the present invention facilitate the logistics for e-commerce delivery processes, and also may allow at the same time reducing the use of massive quantities of cardboard packages that are used for protection and containment for e-commerce orders, being sustainably beneficial for the e-commerce market, the environment, and the consumer. This is achieved by the use of multibox packages that are configured to contain a set of products including orders from different consumers and not necessarily having individual packages for individual consumers, where such multibox packages are sorted at the origin in a Central Fulfillment Center.

An example reusable high-altitude balloon system includes a balloon with a first end supporting a payload and a second end with an aperture and an apex fitting that is positioned within the aperture. A clamp applies a pressure to a plurality of pleated folds formed in the perimeter of the aperture around the apex fitting to form an air-tight seal against the balloon at the perimeter of the aperture. The reusable high-altitude balloon system further includes control circuitry that controllably releases the apex fitting from the balloon to initiate a descent sequence.

A method for guiding a weapon to a target, the method comprising: obtaining a required impact vector for the weapon at the target, obtaining a line of sight (LOS) vector from the weapon to the target; determining a velocity vector of the weapon; defining a guidance plane, the guidance plane being a plane in which both the impact vector and the LOS vector lie; generating guidance commands for the weapon to place the velocity vector of the weapon in the guidance plane with a velocity perpendicular to the guidance plane of zero.
