Boat Aerial Delivery
Designed for military and Special Operations Forces, Airborne Systems Maritime Craft Aerial Delivery Systems (MCADS) are the only airdrop systems in the world capable of delivering large Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) into the water, ready for immediate use. MCADS have been serving the needs of the U.S. SOCOM, UK, Australian and Scandinavian Special Forces as well as many others for over 20 years. Its usage is increasing because of its role in maritime counter-piracy and counter-terrorism.
