Personnel & Airdrop Safety Technology
Abstract
This effort investigates technologies that enhance payload extraction, which will allow current vehicles to be dropped with more armor and support equipment, and reduce the design constraint on future vehicles that have airdrop as an operational requirement, 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 to develop validation methods for airdrop concepts. This effort also investigates technologies that advance airborne personnel insertion safety requirements to modernize the Airborne Soldier and provide the ability to effectively execute the airborne mission through reducing safety risk and increasing capabilities.
