Bagram C-130s drop high-tech cargo delivery system
The Joint Precision Airdrop System (JPADS) made its combat debut Thursday when a U.S. Air Force C-130 from the 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron dropped supplies to a U.S. Army unit in Afghanistan.
The JPADS uses GPS technology to allow cargo bundles dropped from cargo planes to steer themselves to drop zones.
