Leveraging our asymmetric firepower to deter or conclude any battle, and the defense (inaudible), but here in the discovery process, suddenly we may find we need in fact better ground power and better munitions, and we can deliver those now by the
joint precision airdrop system or the ICDS (Improved Container Delivery System).
This combination provides the basis for the Jpads (
Joint Precision Airdrop System) ACTD (advanced concept technology demonstration) programme.
In 2003, the Army's PEGASYS-L program teamed with AMC to form a program titled the
Joint Precision Airdrop System (JPADS).
The system, the
Joint Precision Airdrop System (JPADS), is the subject of an advanced concept technology demonstration (ACTD) conducted by the Army, Air Force, U.S.
This pragmatic and useful approach is being pursued by the
Joint Precision Airdrop System (JPADS) Team, which already has demonstrated significant success with global positioning system (GPS)guided parafoils dropped from altitudes as high as 25,000 feet.
Among those innovations are the
joint precision airdrop system (JPADS), the improved container delivery system (ICDS), and the most recent development, the C-130-based "low-cost, low-altitude" (LCLA) combat airdrop used to resupply Soldiers at forward operating bases.
The employment of
Joint Precision Airdrop Systems (JPADS), GPS-guided unmanned aerial systems (UAS), GPS-aided Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) or any other GPS-dependent system requires similar consideration.
