TASS: Russia considers creating stealth parachute
By now, there are samples of materials for the manufacture of parachute backpacks that will be invisible for night vision devices.
KUBINKA /Moscow Region/, August 26. /TASS/. Russia is carrying out work to create parachutes invisible for night vision devices, CEO of Technodinamika Group (part of the state tech corporation Rostec) Igor Nasenkov told TASS at the Army-2020 forum on Wednesday.
"The effect of chemical spraying for making the parachute invisible for night vision devices on the physical properties of basic fabrics used in the manufacture of parachute systems’ canopies and cords and, correspondingly, the possibility of their use in producing materials for the canopies of parachute systems, are now being studied," the Technodinamika chief said.
The stealth effect is achieved by applying special saturating techniques at the stage of producing polyamide threads and fabrics. Already today there are samples of materials for the manufacture of parachute backpacks that will be invisible for night vision devices, he explained.
