The ATPS will operate in a combat environment of 500 feet (+/-125 feet) AGL minimum planned altitude, deployed from aircraft traveling at speeds of 130-150 Knots Indicated Airspeed (KIAS) and at a maximum altitude of 7500 ft Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL). The Rate-of-Descent at impact has been reduced by 25% from 21 ft/sec to 16 ft/sec. The reduction in impact velocity will result in a 40% reduction in impact energy and a significant reduction in landing injuries. The ATPS also incorporates an advanced

reserve parachute and harness. The new reserve parachute provides a significant decrease in the rate of descent at impact over the T-10 reserve. The ATPS harness includes main and reserve attachments, which align the parachute opening forces along the long axis of the jumper's body thereby reducing spinal injuries. The harness incorporates the use of comfort pads, an integral equipment release, and adjustability for use by a 5th percentile female and 95th percentile male parachutist. |
