P7 heavy cargo takes flight powered by fabric from Kusumgar
Jul 22, 2020
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 22 (ANI/PRNewswire): Kusumgar Corporates, has proudly developed a special fabric for P7 heavy cargo parachutes.
The heavy drop system is used for para dropping, which is capable of paradropping military stores up to 7-ton weight class from IL-76 Aircraft. In light of the requirements of the armed forces, especially in difficult to reach border areas without motorable roads, these systems would fill the gap for logistics and supplies.
The entire system was developed by DRDO's ADRDE lab based in Agra and manufactured by OPF Kanpur. Kusumgar successfully developed the fabric with special coating formulation with the support of ADRDE team, which resulted in improved abrasion resistance apart from water and oil repellent. This is another feather in the cap for Kusumgar in tune with vision of our Prime Minister's Made in India project.
