U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground has long been on the cutting edge of developmental and operational testing of new airdrop capabilities, including the Rapid Rigging De-Rigging Airdrop System (RRDAS), which promises to get Soldiers out of a drop zone and into the fight with the equipment they need faster than ever.
Conventional cargo payloads are typically cushioned with a honeycomb-like cardboard material between the vehicle or other heavy item and the steel palette that carries it from an aircraft to the ground. RRDAS dramatically reduces the amount of honeycomb necessary to dissipate the force of impact with 10 reusable airbag modules.
