OPERATIONAL TEST AND EVALUATION OF C-119, ALAMO SLING SHOT AERIAL DELIVERY SYSTEM.
Abstract
The objective of this operational test was to evaluate the capability, suitability, and training requirements of the 'Alamo Sling-Shot System' for aerial delivery from C-119 aircraft. It was determined that C-119 airdrop capability was greatly improved by use of the 'Alamo Sling-Shot System,' due to a vast improvement in airdrop accuracy, reliability, ease of loading, rigging, versatility, and minimum aircrew training required to obtain proficiency. It is recommended that the 'Alamo Sling-Shot System' be approved for operational use in airdropping A-22 containers and other similar loads for which rigging procedures have been established.
