U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) is home to all manner of parachute testing, with spacious and instrumented ranges large enough to accommodate even the world’s largest cargo parachutes.
The post has long been on the cutting edge of new airdrop capabilities, and recently wrapped up the Autonomous Aerial Insertion and Resupply into Dense Urban Complex Terrain (AAIRDUCT) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration. Involving the precision delivery of payloads of between 50 pounds and 2,400 pounds to units in urban environments, YPG’s extensive evaluations of the system included utilizing an existing mock urban complex into a new drop zone.
