MC-6 System

Developed through the Special Operations Force’s Tactical Assault Parachute System (SOFTAPS) program for precision infiltration, the MC-6 features the latest in advanced technology for steerable troop parachute systems, offers greater maneuverability and exceptional performance in high altitude drop zones, and achieves a lower rate of descent compared to the MC-1 system. The MC-6 System has replaced all the MC-1 steerable troop parachutes in the U.S. military. HDT Airborne Systems is the only source qualified to provide the MC-6 system internationally.

Superior Canopy Technology Allows for Better Steering Control

SF-10A Main Canopy

The SF-10A main canopy is a highly modified, 28 gore polyconical parachute, which has been used by U.S. Special Forces for over ten years, proving itself to be consistently safe and reliable.

• Turn quickly with minimum pendular motion thanks to the canopy’s nominal 32 ft. diameter and a unique drive system.
• Correct a landing point overshoot with the SF-10A’s unique ability to back-up in deep brakes.
• Control forward speed and turn-rate in flight. 
• Safely infiltrate all types of drop-zones, including those at high elevations due to a low rate of descent.

T-11R Reserve Parachute

The T-11R is an Aeroconical design based on the current GQ Low Level Parachute reserve canopy, but with increased structural strength.

• Opens rapidly with minimal post-inflation collapse and altitude loss.
• Inflates in all malfunction modes, as well as with a full main canopy, should the reserve be deployed inadvertently.

Harness Assembly

This harness offers both improved fit and comfort to the parachutist.

• Saddle design with multi-directional adjustment fits a wide range of jumpers, from the 5th percentile female to 95th percentile male.
• Incorporates two rugged Capewell releases to meet even the most stringent requirements.
• Four comfort pads are located at the shoulders and under the leg straps.
