Parachute System for Air Droppable Container (ADC-150)
Materials: Air Droppable Container (ADC-150)
Air droppable containers are required by Indian Navy to provide rapid logistic support to ships and submarines at sea during war as well as peace time. Parachute system for air droppable container is used to decelerate the carrier to the desired impact speed so that the impact load does not exceed its designed limit. It provides the platform for the designed carrier to land with safe speed without hampering the sensitivity of the items. In order to accomplish this task, a self-deployed parachute which is termed as Auxiliary Parachute of Dia 0.61 m is designed for the parachute system. A ring slot parachute (Ø2m) is designed as a drogue parachute for further reducing the speed & load impact of Container after being dropped from the aircraft to safe speed at which the deployment of main canopy can occur. A main parachute (Ø8m) is designed to safe landing speed of container into sea.
