SKYPORTER-300; GPS-Guided Aerial Delivery System
Thu., 28/09/2017
VITAL PARACHUTE’s SKYPORTER-300 is a
fully autonomous GPS-guided aerial delivery system, released from an aircraft
for delivering a cargo to the designated drop zone. Just like a paratrooper
under the canopy, SKYPORTER-300
continuously reads winds, makes the required corrections and precisely
transports cargo, equipment to hostile terrain by air asset while avoiding
adversary’s anti-aircraft artillery.
The SKYPORTER can be used for both military precision and civilian disaster
humanitarian relief by reducing cost and re-assuring accurate supply.
