The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) achieved a significant milestone by successfully testing the Military Combat Parachute System (MCPS) from an altitude of 32,000 feet — the highest deployment ever for an indigenous system. Developed jointly by ADRDE (Agra) and DEBEL (Bengaluru), this advanced parachute system ensures safe and controlled deployment above 25,000 feet. The success of this test highlights DRDO’s progress in developing high-altitude military technology, strengthening India’s self-reliance and operational capabilities in defence research and innovation.
