Assembled by CDS for airborne units, this Drop Zone Safety Officer kit can be customized based upon a specific requirement. For example, this kit is destined for use by an SF batallion so it contains extra sets of the Core Survival ACL-500 series Airborne Caution Light which provide portable aircraft jump lights. Not only can these be used to make mock door training even more realistic, but they can be configured in non-standard aircraft for airborne operations.
It could also be adopted by units from any service as well as units with Pathfinders who rely upon aerial delivery for resupply.
By standardizing core components and utilizing best of breed capabilities, CDS has lowered the weight significantly and increased capability. For example, they replaced the 5 lbs sledge hammer with the 5 oz Punch Hammer from Chameleon Solutions. Additionally, the kit is packaged in a Spoedbox Endurance-40 wheeled mobility container, designed to be loaded on a 463L pallet. A list of common contents is available here.
