Airdrop Adv Tech
Abstract
This project funds the research and investigation of component technologies to enhance cargo and personnel airdrop capabilities for global precision delivery, rapid deployment, and insertion for force projection into hostile regions. Areas of emphasis include parachute technologies, parachutist injury reduction, precision offset aerial delivery, soft landing technologies, and airdrop simulation. Efforts in this Project support the Army Science and Technology Soldier/Squad Portfolio. The cited work is consistent with Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is fully coordinated with Program Element (PE) 0603001A (Warfighter Advanced Technology). Work in this project is led, performed, and/or managed by the Army Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), Natick, MA.
