AERIAL DELIVERY CAGE (ADC)®

SAFEGUARD SENSITIVE PAYLOADS.
NEWTON’s ADC® is a heavy duty airdrop system that enhances rigging & protects sensitive payloads on delivery.

SENSITIVE TACTICAL PAYLOADS
DELIVERED WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY

The ADC® Aerial Delivery Cage by NEWTON is a heavy duty system for aerial delivery platforms that safeguards critical payloads during delivery to the DZ and enhances rigging capabilities for unique mission requirements.

The ADC® is designed to quickly attach to a Type V platform (traditional and RRDAS-retrofitted) via custom siderail links, enabling fast cage dissasembly and payload recovery, as well as autonomous operations. Paired with RRDAS® and AReS®, ADC® safeguards payloads by preventing suspension sling entanglement.

STRATEGIC FEATURES
& ADVANTAGES

LIGHTWEIGHT FRAME
HEAVY DUTY PERFORMANCE

An assembled ADC® system weighs from 1,000 lbs. (ADC® C-130) to 1,450 lbs. (AADC®), and is airdrop ready with Total Suspended Weight (TSW) ratings of 26,000 lbs (ADC® C-17 & C-130 versions) and 38,500 lbs (AADC® version).

The ADC‘s additional safety features, like the ADC® Net, further enhance protective performance from falling parachute ground release systems.

COMPLIANCE &
COMPATIBILITY

All ADC® versions work with typical Aerial Delivery Operations aircraft & resources:

  • Aircraft: C-130 & C-17 tip-off curve compatible
  • Platforms: Type V (Traditional & RRDAS® style)
  • Standards: MIL-STD-1791C compliant

EASY, SIMPLIFIED
INSTALLATION

Engraved & pre-assembled beam assemblies for simple installation:

  • Custom ADC® siderail links: easy installation to Type V platforms
  • 2 Personnel install in under 2 hrs.
  • Standard Suspension Sling Clevis interface (PS70087B)
  • C-130 Emergency Aft Restraint Features Included
  • Rig with or without the parachute ledge for maximum payload compatibility

QUICK RIGGING &
DE-RIGGING

Roll-on payload to rig, quick roll off for recovery:

  • Rigging: fast reaction to payload manifest changes with pre-rigged parachutes, recovery parachutes, & ground release
  • De-rigging: ADC® mitigates entanglement of the suspension slings with the payload upon landing, which maximizes success for autonomous missions
