After exiting a cargo plane flying as high as 25,000 feet, the computer-controlled Joint Precision Airdrop System “self-maneuvers using Global Positioning System coordinates to a drop zone as small as 100 meters,” Ed Doucette, director of air delivery and warfighter protection at U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center, Natick, Mass., explained. The new aerial cargo-delivery system is part of a military equipment exhibit held in the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C. June 6, 2007. Photo by Gerry J.
