Airdrop/Aerial Delivery
Abstract
This effort (previously conducted in Advanced Precision Aerial Delivery of Cargo and Advanced Airborne Insertion (Personnel Airdrop)) matures and demonstrates parachute materials and designs, precision guidance and navigation software and hardware, tracking sensors and safety devices to increase the accuracy in the delivery of cargo to remote locations and/or complex terrains, as well as increase safety of personnel insertions into theaters of operations. Projects transition to this effort from previous Advanced Precision Aerial Delivery of Cargo entry. This work further evolves breakthroughs from PE 0602786A/Project 283 and is coordinated with PE0602786A/Project VT4. This effort supports capability demonstrations for the Army Top Challenge of easing overburdened Soldiers in Small Units for tactical aerial resupply technologies.
