High Speed Container Delivery System (HSCDS)

Abstract

HSCDS will integrate aerial delivery components to provide a cost effective, high speed ingress/egress, low-altitude, accurate Point of Need Delivery capability, which reduces exposure to threats for aircrew, aircraft, and ground receiving units. HSCDS will provide parachute-extracted Container Delivery System with C-130J and C-17 aircraft at maximum ramp open airspeed from as low as 250 feet above ground level. This provides warfighters the ability to conduct low altitude, fast and accurate resupply (up to 16,000 pounds of supplies via eight Containerized Delivery System bundles) to small combat units while maintaining aircraft maneuverability, thus reducing threat exposure.
