- Contrato para IrvinGQ de £25 million para paracaídas de embarcaciones tipo "Zodiac": https://des.mod.uk/irvingq-awarded-25-million-contract-to-supply-advanced-aerial-delivery-system-for-a400m-aircraft/
Under this contract, IrvinGQ, based in Bridgend, will deliver its PRIBAD solution, manufacturing up to 25 systems and providing in-service support for up to 10 years.
The PRIBAD system is designed to deploy large rigid-hulled boats ranging from 6 to 14 metres and weighing up to 12 tonnes, with interchangeable cradles enabling rapid configuration to accommodate all specified payloads.
The project will acquire platforms, associated ancillaries and cover test, evaluation, and integration with both aircraft and boats. The system will enable home and overseas commitments held at extremely-high and very-high readiness.
- Los belgas también compran paracaídas, en este caso de un uso para cargas humanitarias: https://www.brusselstimes.com/1733433/belgium-buys-disposable-parachutes-for-humanitarian-drops
The Belgian Ministry of Defence has approved the purchase of 240 single-use parachutes, valued at €2.1 million, for humanitarian aid drops, such as a recent operation over Gaza.
During Defence’s first humanitarian mission over Gaza in 2024, named “Operation Cerulean Skies,” reusable parachutes were used, significantly depleting existing stock.
To address this shortfall, Defence tested 15 disposable parachutes last year, Low Cost Aerial Delivery Systems (LCADS), which proved to work seamlessly with the A400M transport aircraft.
The Defence Ministry has now fast-tracked the purchase of 240 LCADS parachutes. These are four to five times cheaper than the standard G12 parachutes and come with the necessary equipment to prepare drop packages, ensuring full mission readiness.rioso vídeo a 360º del A400M:
