Drogue Release
The AS-2000 droguefall system utilizes Airborne Systems’ proprietary electromechanical drogue release, which triggers at a user-selectable altitude. Drogue release altitude is programmed using a simple 2-button interface located directly on the unit, and the programming can be checked at any time.
The AS-2000 includes a 15’ static line and Drogue Deployment Bag with 120” Square Drogue.
Electromechanical drogue release: programmable from 0 to 99 seconds via electromechanical release.
Rigging & Storage
- No floor fans required
- Lighter weight makes payload rigging easier
- Designed for standard CDS bundle (A-22)
- Lower profile when rigged
- Standard 9V batteries – good for life of battery, length of time may vary
