New Delhi, Oct 15 (UNI) The Indigenously developed Military Combat Parachute System (MCPS) by DRDO has completed a combat free-fall jump from an altitude of 32,000 feet.
The jump was executed by the test jumpers of the Indian Air Force, showcasing the efficiency, reliability and advanced design of the indigenous system. This achievement makes the MCPS the only parachute system currently in operational use by the Indian Armed Forces capable of deployment above 25,000 feet, a Defence Ministry statement said.
The MCPS was developed by DRDO laboratories -- Aerial Delivery Research and Development Establishment, Agra and Defence Bioengineering and Electromedical Laboratory, Bengaluru. It incorporates several enhanced tactical features, including a lower rate of descent and superior steering capabilities, enabling paratroopers to safely exit aircraft, deploy parachutes at predetermined altitudes, navigate accurately and land at designated zones.
