Military Parachute Systems
Products
ASR-Pioneer is a leading manufacturer of military personnel parachutes, maneuverable parachutes, and heavy
cargo assemblies. Our capacity and production expertise consistently meets the needs of our customers.
Parachutes are produced in accordance with the latest applicable U.S. Army and Parachute Industry
Association (PIA) specifications.

Troop Parachutes
The T-10 nonsteerable Troop Assault Parachute assemblies are used during static line airborne operations. The T-10 has been used for several decades as the primary means of combat troop deployment. T-10 safety and reliability have been demonstrated in millions of jumps.
The T-10 Troop Assembly is suitable for airdropping personnel from as low as 500 feet AGL (Above Ground Level). Lanyard Canopy Releases permit easy separation from the parachute during windy drop zone conditions.
Lengthend Pocket Bands on the T-10C and T-10D provide a more positive opening and reduce the decent rate by 1.5 feet per second. This is an important feature to heavily laden jumpers.

Maneuverable Troop Parachutes
MC1 Steerable Troop Assault Parachute assemblies are used during static line airborne operations. The various MC1 assemblies have been in service for several decades as the primary means of combat troop deployment.
MC1 safety and reliability have been demonstrated in millions of jumps.
The MC1 Troop Assembly Parachute is suitable for airdropping personnel from as low as 500 feet AGL (Above Ground Level).
Lengthened Pocket Bands on MC1-1C and MC1-1D provide more positive opening and reduce the decent rate by 1.5 feet per second, which is important to heavily laden jumpers.

Emergency Parachutes
The BA-22 Emergency Back Assembly is a high speed parachute. This back style parachute is configured for use in fixed wing aircraft, such as C-141, C-130, KC-135, B52, C-5, F-5, T-37, T-38, A-37, and F-100.
At altitudes below 14,000 feet, the crewman will pull the manual ripcord when clear of the aircraft. For landing, the crewman can steer the parachute so that he is facing into the wind, to reduce the potential for injury. After landing, one or both of the parachutes release fittings may be activated to prevent dragging during windy conditions. Quarter Bag deployed round 28 foot diameter canopy is composed of 28 gores. The canopy material is ripstop nylon, MIL-C-7020 and the suspension line material is MIL-C-5040 Type III.

Heavy Cargo Parachutes
The U.S. Army G-11 Cargo Assembly can deliver from 2,270 to 40,000 pounds (989 to 17,420 kg) as low as 550 feet (167 meters) AGL (Above Ground Level). The G-11 assembly can be used in clusters of as many as eight parachutes.
The U.S. Army G-12 Cargo Assembly is capable of delivering from 501 to 3,500 pounds (218 to 1,524 kg) as low as 550 feet (167 meters) AGL. The G-12 assembly can also be used in clusters for heavier loads. Pioneer manufactures G-11 and G-12 repair and accessory components in support of ongoing maintenance for extended life.

Pads: Panther
The PANTHER guided parafoil system provides accurate delivery of payload to a selected landing point by GPS navigation. The system can be deployed from any location that military airborne personnel would be deployed from. Set the mission parameters and deploy from the aircraft. Payload will land at the target with a soft touchdown, then, recovered, recharged and repacked for the next mission.

The BADSS
The BADSS / Type V Platform is configured for use using a military C-130 H/E or J Model aircraft having a Brooks & Perkins A/A-32H-4A or similar 463L type aerial delivery cargo roller restraint system (ADS) installed. Additionally compatible for airdrop use of the “BADSS” system are the C-17, C-5, and future Airbus A400M aircraft when equipped with (ADS) configured roller restraint system.

AirDrop Platforms
The Type V airdrop platform is a modular component constructed, aluminum extrusion structure used for airdropping loads ranging from 2,500 lb. to 42,000 lb. from aircraft having the 463L-standard dual rail restraint systems. (60,000 lb. have been dropped using large aircraft.) A vented version is used to drop loads onto water. This platform is LAPES qualified.
