Aerial Delivery Research & Development Establishment (ADRDE), Agra, an AS9100D certified organization is a pioneer ...R&D establishment under DRDO engaged in the design and development of Parachute Systems, Aerial Delivery Systems, Aircraft Arrester Barrier Systems, Controlled Aerial Delivery System, Heavy Drop System, Lighter than Air (LTA) systems, Recovery Systems and Floatation Systems, etc.
ADRDE developed several Parachute products for various applications in Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Airforce, includes Personnel and Ejection Seat Parachutes, Recovery Parachutes, Armament and Ammunition Delivery Systems, Brake Parachutes, and Heavy Drop Systems. Apart from Parachute technology, the lab has indigenously designed, developed, installed & Aircraft Arrester Barrier Systems of different capacities at various locations of Indian Airforce.
The lab has successfully participated in the Space Capsule Recovery Experiment (SRE) mission of ISRO and presently developing parachute system for the prestigious Human Space Program (HSP) program GAGANYAAN of the country.
This laboratory has developed a state-of-the-art LTA system NAKSHATRA, an aerostatic platform (operational altitude of 1 km) for surveillance purposes, using COMINT / ELINT Payload, smaller version of Aerostat “Tactical Aerostat”, and Mini Airship for surveillance.
Apart from its Charter of R&D for the design and development of Parachutes, Aerostats, Heavy Drop Systems etc., also provides technical product support to Armed forces for their existing services, stores, and equipment in the relevant field including Life extension studies for various Parachute System depending upon the requirement of the users. And also possesses a strong base of Textile engineering & has developed numerous production partners in textiles.
