"The RAES operating concept actually owes more to a technique that Nate Saint, a Christian missionary pilot, devised in the 1950s to drop items to isolated native tribes in South America. Saint would drop packages at the end of a line and then enter a circular orbit creating a spiral that would both slow and stabilize the payload, causing it to fall both accurately and gently. MTSI's recovery concept just puts all this in reverse."

One option would be GRIER insertion/extraction pods on VTOL radar-stealthy F-35Bs as we have advocated for YEARS:

...as well as LRASes like the Shin Meiwa US-2:
