IAF Tests Precise Airdrop System
(Israel Air Force) Carmel Stern and Eitam Almadon - The Israel Air Force is integrating an advanced system allowing for precise airdrop of equipment to ground forces. If IDF troops cannot be resupplied from the ground, the air force is capable of performing airdrops of essential equipment. The new autonomic airdrop system means that the airdropped cargo is able to direct itself towards the ground forces. Over the past two months, the IAF has concluded 18 tests of the airdrop system, dropping the cargo from high altitude. "It was amazing to see the system hit the mark on the ground," said Maj. "A."
