Rapid Equipping Force – Enhanced Speed Bag System

Tuesday, February 10th, 2015

The Rapid Equipping Force worked with material developers Product Director Joint Service, Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) and Natick Soldier Research Development Engineering Center (NSRDEC) engineers on the Enhanced Speed Bag System.

The ESBS is designed to rapidly resupply ground troops via low altitude helo drop. The system consists of a hands free linear brake, rope and padded bag.

Normally, when supplies are kicked from a helo, upwards of 50% of are destroyed upon impact. With ESBS the brake automatically applies friction to the rope orienting the bag with the padded base down. This means you only have to pad the bottom of the bag and in testing, only about 10% of supplies are damaged.

In addition to increased survivability of critical supplies such as ammunition, food, water and medical hear, ESBS standardizes helo resupply equipment and procedures.
