MCPS Successfully Tested at 32,000 Feet

India’s Defence Research & Development Organisation has successfully tested a locally developed Military Combat Parachute System at an altitude of 32,000 feet, marking a significant milestone in the country’s defence capabilities.

This development enables deployment of the parachute system at altitudes above 25,000 feet, making it the only such system currently in operational use by the Indian armed forces capable of high altitude operations.

The MCPS was developed jointly by DRDO’s Aerial Delivery Research and Development Establishment in Agra & the Defence Bioengineering & Electro Medical Laboratory in Bengaluru.

The successful combat freefall jump was executed by Indian Air Force test jumpers, demonstrating the system’s reliability, efficiency, and advanced design features.

The parachute system incorporates enhanced tactical capabilities, including a reduced rate of descent and superior steering, allowing paratroopers to exit aircraft safely, deploy parachutes at predetermined altitudes, navigate accurately & land at designated zones.

The MCPS is also compatible with India’s indigenous satellite navigation system, NavIC, ensuring precise navigation & operational independence from external interference or denial of service threats.

This achievement opens the path for the induction of indigenously developed parachute systems, reinforcing India’s focus on self reliance in defence technology and operational readiness for high altitude missions.
