Airdrop/Aerial Delivery Research and Technology
Abstract
This effort investigates technologies that enhance payload extraction, increase parachute gliding capabilities, and mature delivery accuracy of cargo aerial delivery systems that support varying payload weights. Research in the area of novel parachute materials will provide increased capabilities for cargo and personnel aerial delivery systems. This effort will support an investigation of new Modeling and Simulation (M&S) tools in order to develop validation methods for airdrop concepts. This effort also investigates technologies that advance airborne personnel insertion safety and security. This work is coordinated with PE 0603001A/Project 242/XW6. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2019, work in this Project is realigned into XW5, titled Small Unit Expeditionary Maneuver Tech, along with H99, Joint Service Combat Feeding Technology and VT4, Expeditionary Mobile Base Camp Technology.
