Airdrop/Aerial Delivery
Abstract
This effort matures and demonstrates parachute materials and designs, precision guidance and navigation software and hardware, and tracking sensors and safety devices to increase the accuracy of delivering cargo to remote locations and/or complex terrains. This effort also provides technologies that increase safety during personnel insertions into theaters of operations. This work further evolves breakthroughs from PE 0602786A/Project 283 and is coordinated with PE 0602786A/Project VT4. This effort supports capability demonstrations for the Army Top Challenge of easing overburdened Soldiers in small units through the use of tactical aerial resupply technologies.
