Low Cost Aerial Delivery System (LCADS)
Abstract
LCADS is a modular suite of low cost, expendable parachute/container air items that can be used in lieu of current low and high velocity systems. System includes a low-cost container, high-velocity parachute (70-90 Feet Per Second (FPS)) and low velocity parachute (less than 28.5 FPS). System is compatible with US Air Force Aircraft (USAF A/C) and aerial port handling equipment. LCADS is a proven means to execute critical resupply missions without having to place soldiers and ground vehicle convoys on the road.
