DESCRIPTION: The DRAS airdrop platform is a modular component assembly constructed similarly to the Type V airdrop platform, but having a different Side Rail cross section  and an 88-inch overall width instead of the 108-inch width.  It is 463L cargo system compatible and is designed for specifically the C-17 aircraft to fit the dual pallet rows and locking systems.  It is intended to be gravity roll-out extracted and has no rear panel incorporating an extraction provision.  Maximum payload capacity is under present study.
