The Parachute Assembly, supporting 60mm Illuminating Mortar Cartridges, consists of a main parachute folded and packed into a deployment bag with a drogue parachute. The 60mm flat octagon shaped main parachute is a subcomponent of the parachute assembly. The one piece, approximately 28 inch diameter, octagon shaped canopy is deployed by a 9 inch square nylon drogue chute. The Parachute Assembly, supporting 81mm Illuminating Mortar Cartridges consists of a main parachute folded and packed into a deployment bag. The 81mm flat circular shaped parachute is a subcomponent of the parachute assembly. The one piece, approximately 43 inch diameter, nylon canopy is deployed by a separate 3.2 inch diameter aluminum drogue plate. The 81mm Flashbang Munition Mortar Parachute Assembly consists of a 60mm parachute, 81mm parachute, and drogue parachute packed into a deployment bag along with three tethers. The 60mm flat octagon shaped main parachute is approximately 28 inches in diameter, the octagon shaped canopy has a 1/8 technora tether approximately 13 1/4 inches long covered by a polyester sleeve. The 81mm flat circular shaped parachute is approximately 43 inches in diameter and the nylon canopy has a 3/16 technora tether approximately 32 1/2 inches. Both parachutes are deployed by a 9 inch square nylon drogue chute. Also, included in the Parachute assembly is the 3/16 technora line front tether covered in approximately 32 1/2 inches of heat shrink tubing. The Parachute Assembly, supporting 105mm Illuminating Projectiles, consists of a parachute assembly folded and packed into a protective bag. The parachute assembly is constructed of sixteen (16) heavy nylon segments in a flat circular shaped canopy of approximately 23 inches diameter, attached with a combination of nylon and steel suspension lines woven through a shroud plate for attachment to the candle. The Parachute Assembly, supporting 120mm Illuminating Mortar Cartridges, consists of a main parachute folded and packed into a deployment bag with a drogue parachute. The 120mm flat, octagon shaped flare parachute is a subcomponent of the parachute assembly. The main parachute is constructed of eight (8) gores sewn together to form the octagonal shaped canopy with all suspension lines attached to a single Kevlar riser cable. The eight (8) paneled, approximately 51inch diameter, nylon canopy is deployed by a 9 inch square nylon drogue parachute. 155mm Illuminating Projectiles are supported by two parachute assemblies: the Main Parachute Assembly and the Drogue Parachute Assembly. The Drogue Parachute Assembly is approximately 12 inches in diameter, and is designed to reduce the forward velocity and stabilize the Spin Brake Assembly. It is constructed of six (6) heavy nylon gores sewn together to form the canopy. The assembled Drogue Parachute is folded and packed within a (3) three piece plastic container. The Main Parachute Assembly, supporting 155mm Illuminating Projectiles, is a flat, octagon shaped main parachute approximately 100 inches in diameter. It consists of three (3) panels sewn together to form its canopy with all suspension lines attached to a steel riser cable assembly. The stability characteristics allow the chute to avoid the heat of the burning candle. The main parachute assembly is folded and packed within a stencil board liner.
