SKYPORTER-300; GPS-Guided Aerial Delivery System
Thu., 28/09/2017

VITAL PARACHUTEs SKYPORTER-300 is a fully autonomous GPS-guided aerial delivery system, released from an aircraft for delivering a cargo to the designated drop zone. Just like a paratrooper under the canopy, SKYPORTER-300 continuously reads winds, makes the required corrections and precisely transports cargo, equipment to hostile terrain by air asset while avoiding adversarys anti-aircraft artillery. The SKYPORTER can be used for both military precision and civilian disaster humanitarian relief by reducing cost and re-assuring accurate supply.
