Aerial Delivery

IrvinGQ is offering the latest evolution of PRIBAD

Developed from the PRIBAD21, (21 feet) platform, utilising substantially the same operational and maintenance procedures.

Product introduction

The original MCADS platforms entered service in the mid-1980s and a number of enhanced systems were designed to meet customers evolving needs. The PRIBAD21 platform has been in service for over two decades, operating in a range of theatres, without equipment failure or loss

Aircraft compatibility

PRIBAD will provide full interoperability with:

C-17

C-130J

A400M

Allied nations’ equipment

developed from the
pribad

PRIBAD, developed from PRIBAD, features increased margins in terms of size and weight to meet the needs of larger boat platforms.

This will simplify integration with the new generation of boats and provide far greater scope for increasing the mass and capability going forward.

Depending on the nature of the airdrop mission, the platform can be rigged to float (training mode) or sink without a trace (operational mode). Even rapid conversion from a training to an operational mode is achievable with appropriately trained airdrop riggers.

Familiar with user community within NATO Nations
Commonality with existing platforms leads
User refurbished, robust, and proven capability
A design, for now and the future

The PRIBAD platform has completed more than 500 successful drops

The PRIBAD platform has been in service for over two decades operating in a range of theatres, without equipment failure or loss and is currently in service with many nations.

MCADS

The original MCADS platforms entered service in the mid-1980s and a number of enhanced systems were designed to meet customers evolving needs.

The PRIBAD21 platform has been in service for over two decades, operating in a range of theatres, without equipment failure or loss.

MCADS consist of four major group sets: platform, extraction, descent and ancillaries.

JAWS

The utilisation of JAWS simplifies the integration and training process and reduces the per-drop costs.

Incorporation of IrvinGQ’s JAWS (patent pending) solution which completely removes the industry accepted Single Point of Failure (SPoF), rather than mitigating it, with no electronic or pyrotechnic elements.

WISAD®

WISAD® (Mk2) is wholly re-serviced post drop by the user, reducing cost and time.

With IrvinGQ’s water initiated WISAD® (Mk2) market leading disconnect solution containing no explosive content, marine airdrops in surface winds of up to 30 knots are possible.
