T-11 Upgrades Apparatus

Required Delivery Date: 30 April 2016

Description: T-11, Slip Pull Simulator (SPS)

The T-11 Slip Simulator is to be a simple to administer PT test apparatus. The apparatus is to match within a very close tolerance the actual effort required by a paratrooper with combat equipment, pulling a slip while under T-11 canopy during the last 200ft AGL. The apparatus is to be equal for all students within the Airborne School specified weight/height range 5-95th percentile. There should be no adjustments required by instructors to compensate for the weight of the student(s). Any student should be able to test at any apparatus point(s). During the validation of the apparatus there shall be a digital verification of the effort required to “pull a slip”.

There shall be minimal setup(s) for the Instructors during the morning of the PT test. The apparatus shall be either free standing or placement onto a concrete pad will be considered. The apparatus will be sufficiently durable for a long service life. The apparatus will be all weather serviceable without the need for frequent painting or re-coating; IAW FM 3-21.220 and the BACSOP

Description: Suspended Harness (T-11) Trapeze (SHT)

The Suspended Harness (T-11) Trapeze is an easy to maintain, simple to operate training device used during the Basic Airborne Course. The apparatus will be placed under the frame of an existing structure. The apparatus will be of stainless steel construction, for long term durability with near zero maintenance. The proposal is for 115 points, minor assembly is required.

Description: Improved Mock 34’ Tower Trolley (IMTT)

The Improved Mock 34’ Tower Trolley is a simple to operate training apparatus. The Improved Mock Tower Trolley is to match within a very close tolerance the actual exit, and time required to release combat equipment using the T-11 parachute system standard operating procedures (TC 3- 21.220). There should be no adjustments required by instructors to compensate for the use of the improved Mock Tower Trolley. Any student, regardless of jumper weight should be able to use any point and have a reduced speed and increased time to complete the combat equipment drops per T-11 SOPs. The apparatus shall be attached to the existing cables on the (Tower Branch) Mock Tower structures. The apparatus will be sufficiently durable for a long service life. The apparatus will be all weather serviceable without the need for frequent painting or re-coating. The project calls for use of 24 points of Improved Mock Tower Trolley(s), eight points per existing (Tower Branch) towers.

Description: T-11 Ring/ J-4 Parachute

The T11 ring /J-4 parachute shall hold the basic cross/cruciform shape of the T11 canopy open and enveloped. The ring will have cams attached along the exterior of the ring to allow attachment of the J4 canopy for display. The ring weight will not exceed that of the T10 steel rings currently being operated. The weight of the ring will be verified by a digital measurement device to 507th personnel. The ring will be braced sufficiently to be durable for a long service life. There shall be one T11 ring. The ring shall be all weather serviceable without the need for painting or re-coating. The attachment of the canopy (J4) shall be simple and quick to setup. There shall be a modification to the four Army supplied T11 parachutes by means of sewn attachment points and reinforcement of the canopy fabric for a durable service life. The reinforcement material will be consistent with 1/507th materials currently in use.

Specifications: (Mechanical Portion)

The mechanical portion shall consist of a lifting ring with special cam attachment points to allow for the parachute (J-4) to be easily attached by instructors. The ring must weigh similar to the weight of the existing round rings used on the T-10 parachutes. The ring shall be all weather serviceable without the need for painting or re-coating. The attachment of the canopy (J-4) shall be simple and quick to setup.
