Force Trainer
Force Trainer
Force Trainer is designed for training and airdrop paratroopers with various additional equipment, weapons, instruments etc.
Parachute systems Force Trainer allow execution of parachute jumps from various kinds of aircrafts: both equipped and unequipped for airdrop (except for the static-line jumps).
Landing of airborne troops can be performed on equipped airfields and on limited spots.
The maximum airdrop speed is not limited if main opened with delay sufficient for deceleration to 309 km/h (5-10 seconds).
High-altitude airdrop can be carried out from the altitudes up to top service ceiling (using oxygen equipment).
Force Trainer parachute systems have: options for student rig (detachable PC pocket, additional main PC handle); fittings for cargo containers, loops for attachments, removable pockets and retractions designed to protect parachute from getting caught in the equipment, and to place the oxygen equipment. By special request leg pads can be made with larger width (for a parachute opening at high altitude and long-distance flights), and may have additional pockets to accommodate small cargo.
Harness System Force Trainer has 6 points to attach the cargo:
- Basic (in the chest area for a standard freight container or link);
- Bottom (near the laterals, cargo container is placed under the buttocks)
- Side of the container (in the lower part of the rig, to connect standard and long cargo).
All Force Trainer systems have RSL or DRD systems, to improve the safety of parachutists with a large number of attachments.
AAD control panel is placed on the outside of the container – to help AAD operation in a limited space. Reserve pincover flap has a transparent window to control the position of pin without having to open the flap.
Ripcord pockets for main and reserve handles can be placed on the outside or inside the harness – it is required for easy access to the handles in different sets of items in different containers.
