The present invention, in its various aspects and embodiments, includes a method for planning a mission profile in real time. The method comprises ascertaining a plurality of target information (including a target location, a target velocity, and a target location error) and autonomously determining a pattern from the ascertained target information. In one particular embodiment, the autonomous determination includes projecting along a target axis a distance of the target location error to establish two intersections of the target axis with the target location error; projecting perpendicularly left and right from the intersections to determine a pair of possible start point pairs; selecting the possible start point pair including a closest single start point; selecting the farthest start point of the selected start point pair; identifying an adjusted start point; mirroring the adjusted start point to obtain an adjusted start point pair; and laying out the front-end and back-end traces from the adjusted start point pair.

The invention includes a method and apparatus for planning a mission profile in real time on board a platform or a vehicle dispensed from a platform. In general, the mission planning technique includes ascertaining a plurality of target information, including a target location, a target velocity, and a target location error. This is followed by an autonomous determination of a pattern from the ascertained target information. In one particular implementation, the autonomous determination includes projecting along a target axis a direction opposite a target heading defined by the target velocity a distance of at least twice the target location error to establish an intersection of the target axis with the target location error; projecting left and right relative to the target axis from the intersection a distance at least as great as one-half the target location error to determine a pair of possible start points; selecting the possible start point closest to the platform; determining a dispense point; laying out a trace from the selected start point; and translating the trace along a heading defined by the target velocity a distance determined by the elapsed time of travel for the platform to the dispense point and for a vehicle from the dispense point to the start point. In other aspects, the invention includes a computing device programmed to perform this autonomous determination or a program storage device encoded with instructions for performing such a determination.

Adaptive pants are constructed with a zipper along the pants' outside seams from waist to cuff, allowing the legs to completely open. Inserts used to modify the shape of the pants leg to accommodate leg surgeries and prosthesis are designed to fit into the zippers. The resulting assembly allows disabled individuals to more easily put the pants on and retain a ‘normal’ appearance.
