Details are still sketchy but manufactures have gone public with press releases regarding capabilities and intentions for the synthetic wing system known as Gryphon. This ultralight man portable airfoil is at the leading edge of new concepts for improving special operations paratrooper capabilities and expanding insertion options by extending range and manueverability. The technology patterned after an unconfirmed model they are alleging is already in use with the German paratroopers, will allow for long range insertions of individual warfighters from within friendly airspace to laterally glide in under enemy radar into hostile territory. RangerMade will be inquiring into obtaining a unit for feasability assements on Army applications. The following is one of several pending releases on the subject:
Paratroopers may now fly 200km with new wings system AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE Mon, 29 May 2006
London: A new military parachute system which fits wings on soldiers could enable them to travel to 200 kilometres (124 miles) after jumping, Jane's Defence Weekly defence magazine said Friday. The system, which involves the development of new modular carbon-fibre wings, will mean that aircraft can drop parachutists from 30,000 feet (9,150 metres) into an area of operations without flying into a danger zone. Trials of the modular wing are being developed by the German firm Elektroniksystem und Logistik and Draeger. They are due to finish by the end of 2006, with the entire parachute and wings combination expected to be available during 2007. Peter Felstead, editor of Jane's Defence Weekly, said the new system has been in use with the German army since 2003, but the development of the new wing means soldiers can travel much further than the current 48 kilometres. "The new wing will also reduce the impact of wind conditions on the jumper and allow operatives to travel up to 40 kilometres carrying loads of around 100 kilogrammes," Felstead said.
"The system is reportedly 100 percent silent and extremely difficult to track by air on ground-based radar systems." Jane's Defence Weekly reported that the next stage of the development will utilise small turbo-jet drives, as used on unmanned aerial vehicles, allowing jumpers to be carried longer distances without jumping from such extreme heights.
