TSAMTO, August 26. Technodinamika Holding of Rostec State Corporation is testing a new parachute system for landing divers in full equipment on the water surface.
The system allows the fighter to quickly and safely get rid of the parachute and start performing a combat task under water.
The parachute system designed for performing jumps with subsequent immersion under water was developed by specialists of the Ivanovo parachute plant "Polet"of the Technodinamika holding. The novelty can be used at an altitude of up to 8 thousand meters at a speed of the aircraft from 140 to 350 km / h. A wing-type parachute with an area of 37.2 m2 provides a load capacity of up to 225 kg. The system allows you to place special diving equipment in its composition and to land a diver in full gear. In addition, there is a mount for universal cargo strapping with a weight of up to 130 kg.
"An important feature of our development is that its suspension system allows a paratrooper in special equipment to quickly and safely get rid of the parachute, dive under water and begin performing a combat task. The design of the parachute system provides for the possibility of attaching a cargo harness that allows you to deliver dimensional equipment, including an individual diving tow truck, to the destination. Currently, the novelty is undergoing the final stage of research tests, " said Igor Nasenkov, General Director of Technodinamika Holding.
A wide range of parachute systems of the Technodinamika holding for high-altitude landing, including Stayer, Dalnolet and Tandem-400, can be found at the Army-2021 International Military-Technical Forum.
